Effect of intraoperative factors on IOP reduction after phacoemulsification.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
The purpose of the study was to determine the independent predictors of long-term intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. This is a retrospective review of uncomplicated cataract surgeries from 2006 to 2008 at the Baltimore VA Medical Center with longitudinal follow-up. Demographic, clinical, biometric, and intraoperative variables including phacoemulsification parameters were recorded. Univariate and multivariate linear regression were used to analyze the relationship between these variables and postoperative IOP, which was the outcome variable. Analysis was performed in 115 eyes of 115 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification during the study period. There was an average postoperative IOP reduction through 12, 24, and 36 months of -1.7 ± 3.1, -1.5 ± 3.8, and -1.3 ± 2.6 mmHg, respectively. Higher preoperative IOP (P < 0.001), a more anterior relative lens position (P < 0.05), and longer phaco time (P < 0.05) were significantly associated with greater postoperative decrease in IOP using univariate analysis. Using multivariate analysis, preoperative IOP (P < 0.001), and phaco time (P = 0.038) were associated with greater postoperative IOP reduction through 24 months. Phaco time is independently associated with IOP reduction after adjusting for age and preoperative IOP. Higher preoperative IOP is associated with a greater IOP-lowering effect after phacoemulsification.
