Iris color as a predictive factor for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2023. 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
purposeTo assess the influence of iris color on the predisposition for intraoperative floppy iris syndrome (IFIS) during cataract surgery.
methodsMedical records of patients who underwent cataract surgery in two medical centers between July 2019 and February 2020 were reviewed. Patients younger than 50 years, with preexisting ocular conditions affecting pupillary size or anterior chamber depth (ACD), and combined procedures were excluded. The remaining patients were questioned via telephone regarding their iris color. The association of IFIS occurrence and severity with iris color was tested using univariant and multivariant analyses.
resultsOverall, 155 eyes of 155 patients were included, 74 with documented IFIS and 81 without. The mean age was 74.03 ± 7.09 years, and 35.5% were female. The most common iris color among study eyes was brown (110/155, 70.97%), followed by blue (25/155, 16.13%) and green (20/155, 12.90%). Compared to brown-colored eyes, blue irises exhibited a 4.50-fold risk for IFIS (OR = 4.50, 95% CI: 1.73-11.70, p = 0.002), and green irises 7.00-fold risk (OR = 7.00, 95% CI: 2.19-22.39, p = 0.001). After adjusting for possible confounders, the results remained statistically significant (p < 0.01). Light-colored irises tended to exhibit a more severe IFIS compared to the brown iris group (p < 0.001). IFIS bilaterality was also affected by iris color (p < 0.001), with a 10.43-fold risk for fellow eye IFIS in the green iris group compared to eyes with brown irises (OR = 10.43, 95% CI: 3.35-32.54, p < 0.001).
conclusionsLight iris color was associated with a significantly increased risk of IFIS occurrence, severity, and bilaterality on univariate and multivariate analysis in this study.
