Cystoid macular edema associated with preservative-free latanoprost after uncomplicated cataract surgery: case report and review of the literature.
Review in BMC research notes, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundCystoid macular edema associated with latanoprost administration has been reported in patients after complicated cataract surgery with coexisting risk factors. We present the first case of preservative free latanoprost associated cystoid macular edema that occurred many months after uncomplicated cataract surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year old Caucasian female presented in the Outpatients Clinic complaining of reduced vision and metamorphopsia in the right eye. She had undergone uneventful phacoemulsification 19 months ago in the right eye and was under treatment with preservative free latanoprost eye drops for the last 7 months for ocular hypertension. Her remaining medical and ocular history were otherwise unremarkable. Cystoid macular edema with serous retinal detachment was diagnosed in the right eye using optical coherence tomography and fluorescein angiography. Latanoprost was discontinued and brinzolamide and nepafenac eye drops were administered in the right eye. Two months later, cystoid macular edema completely resolved with restoration of visual acuity. Nepafenac eye drops were administered for another 2 months. Eight months after latanoprost cessation optical coherence demonstrated no sign of cystoid macular edema whereas a subtle epiretinal membrane was noted.
conclusionsCystoid macular edema may potentially occur in patients receiving preservative free latanoprost. More interestingly, in our case it was diagnosed in a patient with a long standing pseudophakia after uncomplicated phacoemulsification. No obvious risk factor for macular edema development was recognized. Prompt diagnosis and latanoprost discontinuation resulted in complete resolution of the cystoid macular edema and functional restoration of the eye.
