Operative Time and Complication Rates of Resident Phacoemulsification Surgeries in a National University Hospital: A Five-Year Review.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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 determine the operative time and complication rates of resident phacoemulsification surgeries at different time points in training.
methodsRetrospective cross-sectional study at the Department of Ophthalmology of the Philippine General Hospital. All resident-performed elective adult phacoemulsification surgeries from January 1, 2014, to December 31, 2018, were included, while operations with planned anterior or posterior procedures were excluded. Cases were arranged chronologically and divided into time points with 25 cases each. Operative time and complication rates were computed for each time point. As defined by the ICO Ophthalmology Surgical Competency Assessment Rubric (OSCAR), 30 minutes was used to gauge competency based on operative time, while complications were compared to published rates for residents. Results for the first 50 cases, the minimum number required by graduation, were also compared with succeeding cases.
resultsA total of 4635 cases were included. Residents performed an average of 115.9 ± 30.4 cases, with no significant difference among residents (
conclusionThere are significant improvements in both operative time and complication rates as more surgeries are performed. However, the minimum required 50 cases is not enough for resident competency based on operative time and complication rates.
