Predictive value of pupillography on intraoperative floppy iris syndrome in preoperative period.
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 2 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 present the frequency of intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) in cataract patients who taking alpha 1-a receptor antagonist (ARA) drugs, and evaluate the predictive value of pupil diameter (PD) changes in IFIS patients.
methodsMale cataract patients who are under treatment with alpha-1a-ARAs (alfuzosin, tamsulosin) intraoperatively were evaluated and were grouped as with/without IFIS. The preoperative PD values were compared with controls. Also, the intraoperative manipulations and early/late complications were recorded.
resultsA total of 77 patients (77 eyes) of 94 benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH) patients have been defined as IFIS (81.91%) and 40 patients (40 eyes) were taking tamsulosin and 37 patients (37 eyes) were taking alfuzosin. During the cataract surgery, the rate of posterior capsular rupture (
conclusionIFIS is a significant clinical syndrome with an increased intraoperative/postoperative complication ratio. The prediction of this syndrome is important because of prevention required precautions against possible complications. There is no association between IFIS and preoperative PD.
