Transient Increase of Flicker Electroretinography Amplitudes after Cataract Surgery: Association with Postoperative Inflammation.
Article in Ophthalmology science, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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: To determine the characteristics and cause of the increase in the amplitude of flicker electroretinography (ERG) after cataract surgery. Design: Prospective, observational clinical study. Participants: Thirty patients who underwent cataract surgery. Methods: Flicker ERGs were recorded with the RETeval system without mydriasis. The central macular thickness (CMT) was measured by OCT and the aqueous flare value (AFV) by laser flare-cell photometry. These examinations were performed before surgery and 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 2 months, and 3 months after surgery. Linear regression analysis through the origin was used to compare the correlations between the relative changes in flicker ERG amplitudes and the changes in the CMT and AFV at different times after the surgery. Main Outcome Measures: The amplitude of flicker ERGs, CMT, and AFV. Results: The mean amplitude of flicker ERGs increased significantly by 31% at 1 week after surgery ( Conclusions: These results suggest that the increase in the amplitude of flicker ERGs after cataract surgery is a transient phenomenon that has a peak at 1 week after surgery. The increase of flicker ERG amplitude was associated with measures that are frequently used to evaluate postoperative inflammation.
