Visual outcome and prognostic factors in cataract surgery in ocular tuberculosis.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo analyze the outcome of cataract surgery in patients with ocular tuberculosis (OTB).
methodsMedical records of patients with OTB who underwent cataract surgery between 2005 and 2018 were retrospectively reviewed. The primary outcome measure was corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA), and a good outcome was defined as CDVA 20/40 or better.
resultsThere were 35 patients (41 eyes), of whom 13 (37.1%) were males and 22 (62.9%) were females. The mean age was 41.6 ± 13.8 (range 18-65) years. Anterior uveitis was present in 24 (58.5%) eyes, intermediate uveitis in 5 (12.2%) eyes, posterior uveitis in 6 (14.6%) eyes, and panuveitis in 6 (14.6%) eyes. Posterior sub-capsular cataract (51.2%) was the most common type of cataract. Total cataract was present in 9 (22%) eyes. The two most common ocular comorbidities were small pupil (85.4%) and glaucoma (17.1%). Phacoemulsification was performed in 36 (87.8%) eyes and ECCE was performed in 5 (12.2%) eyes. Intraoperatively the pupil was mechanically dilated in 36 (87.8%) eyes. Overall 26 (63.4%) and 23 (56.1%) eyes achieved CDVA 20/40 or better at 1- and 6-month follow-up visit, respectively. The mean preoperative LogMAR CDVA significantly improved from 1.28 ± 0.57 to 0.38 ± 0.36 at 1-month (P < 0.0001). One eye had fibrinous anterior chamber reaction and 24 (58.5%) eyes had 1 or more episodes of reactivation of uveitis in the follow-up period. The three commonest complications were glaucoma (26.8%), posterior capsule opacification (19.5%), and epiretinal membrane (17.1%). Postoperative posterior segment complications like epiretinal membrane formation, vitreous inflammation and cystoid macular edema affected final visual acuity (P < 0.002).
conclusionThe visual outcome after cataract surgery in OTB was satisfactory as significant number of patients achieved a good final visual acuity.
