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 compare the efficacy of nepafenac on anterior chamber flare and intraocular pressure(IOP) in healthy (group 1) and uveitic eyes (group 2) undergoing cataract surgery.

methodsA retrospective, consecutive case series study.

resultsAmong 54 the patients, 14 had a history of uveitis. The groups were similar in age and gender. There were significant changes in flare values in both groups. When the temporal changes of flare values were compared, there was no difference between the two groups. There were no significant changes in IOP values in both group. When the temporal changes of IOP values were compared, there was no difference between the groups.

conclusionsNepafenac 0.1% has been shown to be effective in suppressing inflammation after cataract surgery in uveitic eyes as well as in healthy eyes. In addition, it has been observed that it does not increase intraocular pressure in both healthy and uveitic eyes and it is safe to use with this regard.
