Impact of Phacoemulsification Parameters on Central Retinal Thickness Change Following Cataract Surgery.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Cataract surgery can lead to inflammatory processes in the retina due to its invasive nature, resulting in prolonged recovery times and reduced functional outcomes. The aim of the current study is to explore the impact that phacoemulsification parameters have on macular thickness following surgery. This prospective single-center study enrolled 46 healthy patients (46 eyes) who underwent uneventful cataract surgery. Retinal thickness was assessed using optical coherence tomography (OCT) preoperatively, as well as 1, 4, and 12 weeks after surgery. The macula was divided into a central (CMT), inner (IMT), and outer ring (OMT). Cataract density was automatically determined using an anterior segment OCT and a custom MATLAB script. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) as well as cumulative dissipated energy (CDE), ultrasound time (UT), and fluids used during phacoemulsification were recorded. Retinal thickness and volume increased significantly following cataract surgery, reaching its maximum 4 weeks post-operatively. Statistically significant correlations were found between the CDE and IMT, OMT and retinal volume change (r
