Visual outcomes and complications of manual small-incision cataract surgery in patients with pseudoexfoliation.
Observational study in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. 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
Purpose: Pseudoexfoliation is an age-related fibrillopathy characterized by the deposition of fibrillar material in the eye with an increased risk of complications during cataract surgery. Aim was to study visual outcomes and complications in patients with pseudoexfoliation undergoing manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS). Methods: Prospective observational study was performed on 152 patients with pseudoexfoliation above 50 years undergoing MSICS in a tertiary hospital from December 2016 to November 2017. Intraoperative and postoperative complications were documented with follow-up on postoperative day 1, 1 Results: Preoperative small pupil was noted in 49 eyes (32.2%), and 19 (12.5%) required intraoperative measures. Intraocular complications noted were zonular dialysis in five (3.3%), posterior capsular rupture in one (0.7%), and iridodialysis in one (0.7%). On postoperative day 1, the most common complication was corneal edema in 134 patients but clinically significant in only 23 (15.1%). Postoperative complications at 3 months were irregular pupil in 17 cases and decentered IOL in three cases. Intraocular pressure decreased with each visit [preoperative mean: 14.39 (±3.4) and 13.37 (±2.0) 12.53 (±1.4) mm Hg at 1 and 3 months, respectively]. There was a significant improvement in vision from the first day mean pinhole vision of 0.26 (±0.24) to mean best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) of 0.09 (±0.22) and 0.07 (±0.22) at 1 and 3 months, respectively. Mean endothelial cell loss was 193.16 (7.79%) and 266.01 (10.68%) at 1 and 3 months, respectively. Conclusion: Pseudoexfoliation has an increased risk of complications during cataract surgery. MSICS gives good outcomes in terms of visual recovery and postoperative outcomes.
