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
objectiveTo characterize the clinical features of cataract surgery performed after refractive surgery.
methodsIn this study, 23 patients with cataracts (38 eyes) who underwent cataract surgery following refractive surgery at the Shenzhen Aier Eye Hospital between the years 2017 and 2021 were retrospectively included for analysis. The patients had either femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) combined with intraocular lens implantation (IOLI), or conventional phacoemulsification (Phaco) combined with IOLI. The type and power of an intraocular lens (IOL) were selected based on the ocular condition, needs, and living habits of patients. Intraoperative complications, postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), and postoperative refractive status were all recorded and analyzed.
resultsThe patients had a postoperative UCVA that was significantly better than the baseline (prior to operation), a postoperative IOP and diopter (D) similar to the baseline and a high level of postoperative satisfaction. The postoperative visual acuity, D and complication rate of FLACS+IOLI group were not significantly different from those of Phaco+IOLI group, and the IOP of the former was statistically lower than that of the latter.
conclusionsFLACS with IOLI or conventional Phaco with IOLI is feasible for cataract patients who have undergone refractive surgery. In terms of IOL selection, multifocal, extended range of vision (ERV), or trifocal types can be selected to achieve the goal of lens removal after surgery, but the decision should be made based on the patient's specific eye condition, living needs, and economic circumstances. To achieve satisfactory curative effects, it is necessary to have a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of the condition of such patients, to master the pre- and post-operative diagnosis and treatment methods, to accurately calculate the IOLP, to fully communicate with patients about their surgical expectations, and to develop feasible surgical plans.
