Corneal Endothelial Health after Phacoemulsification Cataract Surgery without Viscoelastic Substance.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. 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
purposeTo evaluate corneal endothelial health after cataract surgery without viscoelastic substance (VS).
methodsA prospective, non-randomized, case-series study was developed, and phacoemulsification cataract surgery without VS was performed on 1324 eyes between September 2015 and September 2018. As main outcomes, mean endothelial cell density (ECD) and mean central corneal thickness (CCT) were assessed before surgery and then 6 and 12 months after surgery. Data are summarized as mean, standard deviation (SD), and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsA total of 1324 eyes were operated, and 31 were excluded by intraoperative complications. The mean ECD baseline was 2506 cells/mm
conclusionsPhacoemulsification cataract surgery can be completely performed without VS, with very low intraoperative complications. The postoperative ECD and CCT changes occurred primarily during the first 6 months, and the changes decreased during the second semester.
