Utilizing dexamethasone intravitreal implant to control postoperative inflammation in refractory uveitis undergoing cataract surgery.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. 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
aimTo report the effectiveness of intravitreal implantation of dexamethasone implant (Ozurdex) after phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation in refractory uveitis patients.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study conducted for refractory pan-uveitis patients who underwent cataract surgery combined with intravitreal Ozurdex implantation. The main outcome measurements were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), central retinal thickness (CRT), grade of anterior chamber cell (AAC), intraocular pressure (IOP), and systemic/ocular adverse events.
resultsTen eyes of 7 patients were included. BCVA showed significant improvement at 1mo (
conclusionOzurdex is considered a safe and effective approach to control postoperative inflammation in cataract surgery for patients with refractory uveitis in our study. After the disappearance of Ozurdex's anti-inflammatory effects over time, in most cases the recurrent inflammation can be controlled by topical steroids.
