Changes in the peripapillary vasculature and macular thickness after cataract surgery using two phacoemulsification systems with optical coherence tomography angiography.

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 assess the changes in the peripapillary vasculature and macular thickness after cataract surgery using two phacoemulsification systems with optical coherence tomography angiography (OCTA).
methodsFifty-two eyes of 52 patients with age-related cataract were randomized into two groups for phacoemulsification: Infiniti group (26 patients) using the Infiniti phacoemulsification system with gravity-fluidics and Centurion group (26 patients) using the Centurion phacoemulsification system with active-fluidics. The peripapillary vessel density (PVD) and macular thickness were examined using OCTA at baseline and at 1d, 1 and 3mo after cataract surgery.
resultsIn the Infiniti group, the PVD was significantly reduced at 1d after the cataract surgery (
conclusionUsing the Infiniti phacoemulsification system, OCTA provides a promising analysis of retinal vascular alterations, demonstrating a reduction of the PVD and an increase in the macular thickness. The Centurion phacoemulsification system can provide better retinal vasculature preservation during cataract surgery.
