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 can cause macular thickness change. We used optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess the macular thickness of different regions after femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery of age-related cataracts (ARC) and myopia cases with cataract (myopia group). Fifty eyes of 50 patients in ARC group and fifty eyes of 50 patients in myopia with cataract group were included. All study underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery and macular thickness of was measured at pre-operation and 1 week, 1 month after surgery. There are significant differences of foveal thickness (P = 0.02), foveal volume (P = 0.02) and average retinal thickness (P = 0.02) between two groups before operation. In the myopia group, statistically significant differences were not found in postoperative macular thickness as compared with ARC group. There are differences in macular thickness between pre-operation and 1 month after operation when compared with nasal outer macular ring thickness (P = 0.022), foveal volume (P = 0.005) and average retinal thickness (P = 0.012) in ARC group. The study suggest that femtosecond laser-assisted cataract extraction is safe in myopia group that did not cause significant increase of macular thickness. However, an increased post-operative local macular thickness was recoded while comparing macular thickness with the baseline in ARC group.
