Liposomal drug delivery system for anti-inflammatory treatment after cataract surgery: a phase I/II clinical trial.
Trial report in Drug delivery and translational research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Liposomes as a drug delivery system may overcome the problems associated with non-compliance to eyedrops and inadequate control of inflammation after cataract surgery. We evaluated the safety and efficacy of a single subconjunctival injection of liposomal prednisolone phosphate (LPP) for the treatment of post-cataract surgery inflammation. This is a phase I/II, open-label non-comparative interventional trial of patients undergoing cataract surgery. All patients received a single injection of subconjunctival LPP intraoperatively. The primary outcome measure was the proportion of eyes with an anterior chamber cell count of 0 at postoperative month 1. Ocular and non-ocular adverse events, including elevated intraocular pressure, rebound iritis and pseudophakic macular edema were monitored. Five patients were enrolled in this study. The mean age was 66.6 ± 6.2 and 4 (80%) were male. The proportion of patients with AC cell grading of 0 was 0%, 80%, 80%, and 100% at day 1, week 1, month 1, and month 2 after cataract surgery, respectively. Mean laser flare photometry readings were significantly elevated at week 1 after cataract surgery (48.8 ± 18.9, p = 0.03) compared with baseline, decreasing to 25.8 ± 9.2 (p = 0.04) at month 1 and returned to baseline by month 2 (10.9 ± 5.1, p = 1.0). No ocular or non-ocular adverse events were observed. Liposomal prednisolone phosphate, administered as a single subconjunctival injection intraoperatively, can be a safe and effective treatment for post-cataract surgery inflammation. The delivery of steroids with a liposomal drug delivery system could potentially replace eyedrops as anti-inflammatory therapy following cataract surgery.
