1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo assess the risk of pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) following cataract surgery in patients with allergies and/or atopic disorders. PATIENTS AND

methodsMedical records of 3,850 consecutive eyes that underwent cataract surgery were retrospectively reviewed for prevalence of allergies and atopic status and development of PCME. Patients with any known risk factors for PCME were excluded. Macular examination was performed using spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) before and at 4, 8, 12, 16, 24, and 36 weeks after surgery. If both eyes in one patient underwent cataract surgery, one eye was randomly selected. Odds ratios and confidence intervals were estimated.

resultsOut of 240 patients enrolled in this series, 65 patients (27.1 %) showed positive allergic status, 19 patients (7.9 %) suffered from atopic syndromes, and 11 (4.6 %) showed both (allergies and atopic diseases). PCME occurred in eight patients (12.3 %) of the allergy cohort, whereas no patient (0 %) of the atopy cohort developed PCME. The risk of PCME was comparable in patients with allergies or atopic diseases to patients without allergies or atopy (allergy: p = 0.635; odds ratio (OR) 1.303, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.461-3.398; atopy: p = 0.234; OR 0.000, 95 % CI 0-1.815).

conclusionPositive status of allergy or atopy does not seem to increase the risk of PCME. Therefore, postoperative treatment after cataract surgery does not have to be modified in allergic or atopic patients.
