Refractive Outcomes of Simultaneous Pterygium and Cataract Surgery With Fibrin Glue.

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
Introduction Pterygium is commonly reported in India because of its tropical location. It is often accompanied by senile cataract. The current study aimed to evaluate the refractive outcomes of patients undergoing simultaneous pterygium and cataract surgery. Materials and methods A total of 12 patients with cataract and pterygium underwent simultaneous phacoemulsification with a foldable intraocular lens (IOL) followed by pterygium excision with conjunctival limbal autograft secured with fibrin glue under peribulbar anesthesia. Nasal pterygium was present in all the cases, and its size ranged from 2.5 to 3.5 mm from the limbus. All the patients exhibited nuclear sclerotic cataract of grades 2 and 3. Results The results of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. We determined the best-corrected visual acuity ([BCVA] in logMAR), manifest astigmatism, and mean corneal astigmatism before operation and after 12 months of surgery. We also analyzed the correlation between the prediction error (calculated by subtracting the predicted postoperative refraction from the actual postoperative spherical equivalent) and changes in the mean keratometry and prediction errors and pterygium size. The mean age of the patients was 61.9 ± 7.14 years (range: 50-70 years). The mean BCVA at presentation was 0.67 ± 0.24 logMAR units, which significantly increased after surgery to 0.01 ± 0.03 logMAR units (
