Use of Black-and-White Digital Filters to Optimize Visualization in Cataract Surgery.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of a black-and-white (BW) filter on the optimization of visualization at each stage of cataract surgery.
methodsProspective, single-center, single-surgeon, consecutive case series of 40 patients undergoing cataract surgery with BW filter. Surgical images and videos were recorded with and without the BW filter at each stage of cataract surgery. Contrast measurements of surgical images and subjective analysis of video sequences were performed.
resultsThe surgeons assessed the BW filter to optimize the tissue visibility of capsulorhexis contours, hydrodissection fluid wave perception, the contrast of instruments through a nucleus during phaco-chop, and subincisional cortex contrast through the corneal edema. Despite the higher contrasts' value obtained with BW filter images during nucleus removal, posterior capsular polishing and viscous removal, the surgeons subjectively reported no significant advantage of using a BW filter. Standard color images were found to be better for localizing the limbal area during incision and for nucleus sculpture to assess groove depth.
conclusionsIn conclusion, we describe here the potential indications for BW filter use at particular stages in cataract surgery. A BW filter could be used, with caution, in cases of poor visualization.
