Characteristics of Patients with Pseudoexfoliation Syndrome at a Tertiary Eye Care Center in Jordan: A Retrospective Chart Review.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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 present the clinical profile of patients with pseudoexfoliation (PXF) and describe its association with pseudoexfoliation glaucoma and cataract surgery complications at a university hospital in Jordan.
methodsElectronic chart search was performed among patients aged ≥ 50 years who attended the Jordan University Hospital between January 2015 and March 2018, to identify patients with pseudoexfoliation. Data derived from history and ophthalmic examination regarding laterality of pseudoexfoliation, presence of glaucoma, glaucoma surgery, cataract, cataract surgery, lens instability, and complications of cataract surgery were collected and analyzed.
resultsOf 19,753 patient records searched, 962 (477 male and 485 female) had PXF (4.9%). The mean (SD) age was 71.8 (8.1) years. Pseudoexfoliation was unilateral in 539 patients (56.0%). The mean age of patients with clinically bilateral PXF was significantly higher than those with clinically unilateral PXF (p = 0.001). Pseudoexfoliation glaucoma was present in 237 of 962 (25.4%) patients with PXF and was significantly associated with clinically bilateral PXF (p < 0.001) and male gender (p = 0.001). In 454 (48.9%) patients (638 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery, there was no statistically significant difference in the rate of intraoperative complications between PXF eyes and the fellow eyes of clinically unilateral PXF eyes (p = 0.37), or between patients with clinically unilateral and clinically bilateral PXF (p = 0.78).
conclusionIn this large hospital-based study, the frequency of PXF was 4.9%. Glaucoma was present in one fourth of patients and was significantly associated with clinically bilateral PXF and male gender. Cataract surgery complication rates were not statistically different between PXF and the fellow eyes of clinically unilateral PXF eyes. Surgeons need to be aware of the potential increased risk of intraoperative complications in both groups.
