[Cataract surgery. Effect on the posterior segment of the eye].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Cataract surgery is a safe procedure with a high patient satisfaction rate. However, pseudophakia changes the physiology of the eye and immediate changes include release of inflammatory cytokines. Deformation of the globe and intraoperative fluctuations of intraocular pressure may induce microlesions and alterations of ocular perfusion. The barrier function between the anterior and the posterior segment is compromised after surgery and the geometry of the intraocular chambers changes. Especially the vitreous body is subject to increased destruction during the years after surgery. The occurrence of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema after cataract surgery is a well known complication. Several studies have described a progression of diabetic retinopathy, especially of diabetic macular edema after cataract surgery. In contrast cataract surgery does not seem to have a significant impact on the progression of age-related macular degeneration. However the risk for retinal detachment is significantly increased in pseudophakia for at least 10 years after surgery. Awareness of special risk factors can make cataract surgery, one of the most effective procedures in medicine, even safer.
