1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

backgroundComplicated cataract surgery is challenging, especially in cases of hard nuclear cataract with severe anterior capsule organization. It is important to avoid the risk of surgery and improve the surgical skills of surgeons. CASE SUMMARY: A 60-year-old man presented with severe cataract and visual impairment. The anterior capsule of the lens was irregularly organized and pulled to the surrounding capsule, and white porcelain organized cord and brown-black lens nucleus were clearly visible. In phacoemulsification, maintaining the anterior capsule round and intact plays a key role in a successful surgery. In this case, if the conventional capsule treatment method was used, the anterior capsule would be torn. Therefore, we adopted a segmented anterior capsule treatment method, and a blasting method to release energy when dealing with the lens nucleus, and achieved good surgical results.

conclusionComplicated cataract surgery is challenging and requires precise skills. Operation plans should be made reasonably to predict the risk of surgery, and improve the visual quality of the patients.
