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
backgroundTo investigate the accuracy of preoperative biometry in eyes undergoing combined phacovitrectomy and to compare it with eyes having cataract surgery at a later point in time following vitrectomy.
methodsPatients with epiretinal membrane or macular hole who underwent combined phacovitrectomy (group 1) or phacoemulsification following pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) (group 2) were included in this retrospective, comparative, interventional case series. The primary outcome measures were the intraocular lens power prediction error (PE) and the percentage of eyes with PE > ± 0.5D in the two groups. Secondary outcome measures included the correlation between epidemiological, clinical, or surgical factors and dioptric shift. In addition, the influence of optical coherence tomography characteristics to the PE was investigated.
resultsGroup 1 and 2 consisted of 55 and 54 eyes, respectively, for a total of 109 eyes included in the study. The mean absolute PE was 0.59 D (range + 1.4 to - 2.5D) in group 1 and 0.35 (range + 1.0 to - 1.45D) in group 2 (p = 0.01). PE greater than 0.5D was observed in 47% of eyes in group 1 as opposed to 16.6% of eyes in group 2 (p = 0.027). The PE was associated with shallower anterior chamber depth (ACD), increased central macular thickness (> 300 μ), and worse baseline best-corrected visual acuity. Photoreceptor ellipsoid zone or external limiting membrane disruption was not associated with significantly greater postoperative refractive deviations.
conclusionCombined phacovitrectomy may result in greater postoperative refractive prediction error compared to phacoemulsification alone following vitrectomy. Patients with worse vision, greater central macular thickness, and shallow anterior chambers require more caution since they are prone to inaccurate preoperative biometry.
