Dysphotopsias or Unwanted Visual Phenomena after Cataract Surgery.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Dysphotopsias are unwanted visual phenomena that occur after cataract surgery. They represent some of the most common reasons for patient dissatisfaction after uncomplicated surgery for cataract phacoemulsification with in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. Depending on the form of the optical phenomenon and the effect it poses on vision, dysphotopsias are divided into positive and negative type. Positive dysphotopsias are usually described by patients as glare, light streaks, starbursts, light arcs, rings, haloes, or flashes of light. Negative dysphotopsias are manifested as an arc-shaped shadow or line usually located in the temporal part of the visual field, similar to a temporal scotoma. In addition to their different clinical manifestations, positive and negative dysphotopsia also have different risk factors. Even though up to 67% of patients may experience positive dysphotopsia immediately after surgery, only 2.2% of the cases have persistent symptoms up to a year postoperatively. Surgical intervention may be indicated in 0.07% of cases. The incidence of negative dysphotopsias is up to 26% of all patients; however, by one year postoperatively, the symptoms usually persist in 0.13 to 3% of patients. For both types of dysphotopsia, preoperative patients' education, accurate preoperative diagnostics, and use of an appropriate IOL design and material is mandatory. Despite all these measures, dysphotopsias may occur, and when noninvasive measures fail to improve symptoms, a surgical approach may be considered.
