1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 the pre- and post-operative outcomes of phacoemulsification in patients with uveitis-associated cataract in remission, such as conventional visual acuity (VA), photopic and mesopic contrast visual acuity (CVA), and flares in the anterior chamber objectively assessed as intraocular inflammation. PATIENTS AND

methodsThis prospective study included 26 eyes of 19 patients with uveitis and 45 eyes of 26 controls who underwent cataract surgery at the Kyushu University Hospital and Kyushu Medical Center in Fukuoka, Japan, from October 2016 to December 2018. Conventional VA and flare values in the anterior chamber were evaluated preoperatively and 1 and 3 months postoperatively. Photopic and mesopic CVAs were assessed preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively.

resultsThe best-corrected VA (BCVA) was improved significantly from baseline to 1 and 3 months postoperatively in both groups (

conclusionCataract surgery for uveitis-associated cataracts during remission is well tolerated. However, the present results suggest that amelioration of hemeralopia and/or nyctalopia is not as good as expected after cataract surgery in patients with uveitis.
