Outcomes of simultaneous vs. sequential pars plana vitrectomy and cataract surgery.
Article in Experimental and therapeutic medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
The coexistence of cataract and vitreoretinal diseases is common in clinical practice. The technological achievements of the last decade in both types of surgeries, allow simultaneous interventions on lens and retina. This retrospective study assessed the morphofunctional results obtained after performing simultaneous surgeries in a series of 87 patients presenting with both pathologies. The cases were retrospectively reviewed from their clinical records from 2017 to 2019. The patients were divided into two groups: group 1 comprising 41 cases underwent the combined procedure and group 2 comprising 46 patients underwent vitrectomy, followed by cataract surgery after 3-10 months. The functional and anatomical outcomes and the complications were assessed pre- and post-operatively. The statistical analysis was carried out by MaxStat software. The final best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), in group 1 was <0.1 in 4.88% of the cases, 0.1 to 0.3 in 17.07%, 0.3 to 0.5 in 51.22% and >0.5 in 26.83% eyes. In group 2, the final BCVA, after both surgeries were completed was <0.1 in 8.7% cases, 0.1 to 0.3 in 30.43%, 41.3% were 0.3 to 0.5 and 19.57% were >0.5. During the cataract surgery, the most common intraoperative complication was miosis, followed by posterior capsule rupture. Postoperative, 12.2% cases from group 1 developed an immediate inflammatory reaction in the anterior chamber, and 17.07% presented with posterior capsular opacification (PCO). Simultaneous surgery is safe and effective in obtaining a good morphological and functional result and offers the advantage of a clear eye media that allows a safer vitrectomy and thus a quicker rehabilitation of the patient. The analysis of the risks and benefits of each procedure should be taken into account and the cases selected individually for either simultaneous or sequential surgery in order to obtain the best outcomes.
