The J-shape association of serum total IgE levels with age-related cataract.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo address the association between serum total IgE levels and age-related cataract in adults.
methodsThe study participants consisted of 1052 adults aged 40y or older in the Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010. We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses using the quartile cut-points of total IgE levels.
resultsThe odds ratios (ORs) for nuclear and any cataract with ≥267 kU/L of serum IgE levels were 1.75 [95% confidence intervals (CI), 1.04-2.96] and 2.00 (95%CI, 1.22-3.27), respectively, comparing to 35-87 kU/L. Interestingly, participants with ≤35 kU/L of IgE levels (OR, 1.67; 95%CI, 1.02-2.72) also had higher risk for any cataract than those with 35-87 kU/L. The risk for any cataract (OR, 1.48; 95%CI, 1.03-2.13) was higher in participants with high total IgE levels (>150 kU/L), comparing to normal participants.
conclusionOur findings indicate a J-shaped relationship between serum IgE levels and age-related cataract.
