Time to recovery from cataract and its predictors among eye cataract patients treated with cataract surgery: A retrospective cohort study in Ethiopia.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
backgroundCataracts is the major global causes of blindness and a vision-affecting disease of the eye. Cataract surgery is a curative and cost-effective intervention. The number of people who undergo cataract surgery has increased rapidly. Hence, this study was aimed to determine predictors and the time of recovery of cataract patients after cataract surgery by using Simi parametric models of survival analysis.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted from January/01/2015 and January/30/2019. STATA version14.0 statistical software was used for analysis. The Kaplan-Meier survival method and log-rank test curves were applied. Weibull regression was used and adjusted hazard ratio 95% CI with a value of p less than 0.05 was used to identify a significant association.
resultsTwo hundred twenty three cataract patients were recovered from cataract, 72.6% (95% CI 69.8%-75.9%). The overall median survival time was 23 weeks (IQR = 16 to 35) with (95% CI, 21%-25%). aged between 16 and 30year (AHR = 1.20 CI; 1.07-2.36), age 31 to 45 (AHR = 1.24 CI; 1.08-1.54), urban dwellers (AHR = 1.59; 95% CI, 1.18-2.14), medium visual acuity (AHR = 4.14 CI; 2.57-6.67), high visual acuity (AHR = 5.23 CI; 3.06-8.93), Secondary cataract (AHR = 2.59 CI; 1.01-3.02), traumatic cataract (AHR = 1.75 CI; 1.01-3.02), extra capsular cataract extraction surgery (AHR = 1.43 CI; 1.07-1.94),and diabetes mellitus (AHR = 0.75, CI; 0.41-0.96) were notably associated with time to recovery.
conclusionTime to recovery in the study area was slightly higher as compared with the global cut of time. Cataract patients with comorbidity of DM had lower recovery time.
