A prospective randomized clinical trial of active-fluidics versus gravity-fluidics system in phacoemulsification for age-related cataract (AGSPC).
Trial report in Annals of medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
backgroundTo figure out the efficacy, effects, safety and patient's subjective perceptions of phacoemulsification with the active-fluidics system (AFS). PATIENTS AND
methodsThis was a prospective, randomized, double-masked, controlled clinical study. Age-related cataract patients were recruited and randomly assigned to the AFS group and gravity-fluidics system (GFS) group in a ratio of 1:1 to have phacoemulsification. Participants were followed up at one day, one week, one month and three months postoperatively (Chinese Clinical Trial Registry, ChiCTR2100044409).
resultsThe overall included participants were 107 finally. The total aspiration time of the AFS group was significantly less than that of the GFS group (
conclusionAFS improves the efficiency, effects, safety and patients' subjective perceptions of phacoemulsification compared with GFS. It is worthwhile to promote its application in cataract surgery.KEY MESSAGESThe active-fluidics system automatically detects and maintains stable intraocular pressure at the set value.The active-fluidics system improves the efficiency, effects, safety and patients' subjective perceptions in phacoemulsification.
