Incidence and Risk Factors for Retinal Detachment Following Cataract Surgery at a Tertiary Center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Introduction The incidence of retinal detachment in the general population is 0.08%, it has been reported to reach 0.7% or higher following cataract surgery. One of the most important risk factors for retinal detachment is posterior capsular rupture during cataract surgery. Additional risk factors include high myopia, history of ocular trauma, young age, male sex, and diabetes. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence and risk factors of retinal detachment following cataract surgery in patients treated at our hospital. Materials and methods This retrospective cohort study was conducted at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH), a tertiary center in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The medical records of 365 patients (365 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery from 2017 to 2021 were reviewed. Results The average age of the 365 patients was 63 years, and 47.7% (n=174) of patients were male. The incidence of retinal detachment was 3.3% (n=12). The risk of RD was 2.8 times higher for the right eye than for the left eye. The incidence of RD was significantly more in eyes with intraoperative posterior capsular rupture, zonular dehiscence, corneal trauma, and surgery combined with anterior vitrectomy than in other eyes. The most common complication of cataract surgery is corneal edema, which was observed in 22.7% of the eyes; our analysis revealed a significant relationship between corneal edema and the duration of surgery. Conclusion In our study, we highlighted the higher incidence of retinal detachment compared to those in other studies; most cases occurred one month postoperatively.
