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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to compare early clinical results regarding the safety and efficacy of dual-linear vs. conventional foot-pedal control in cataract surgery.
methodsThis was a paired-eye contralateral, retrospective, observational study. Each patient underwent cataract surgery in both eyes: one eye with dual-linear foot-pedal control (study group) and the other eye with conventional foot-pedal control (control group). Absolute phaco time (APT), average phaco power, effective phaco time (EPT), and surgical complications were analyzed and compared. Corneal endothelial cell count, corneal thickness, corneal volume, and best-corrected distance visual acuity (BCDVA) were measured preoperatively and at 1 week, 1 month, and 3 months postoperatively.
resultsA total of 94 patients (188 eyes) were enrolled. The respective APT, average phaco power, and EPT values were 7.05 ± 5.31 s, 28.4 ± 1.00, and 2.05 ± 1.56 s in the study group and 6.82 ± 6.48 s, 18.9 ± 1.74, and 1.35 ± 1.35 s in the control group.
conclusionsThe average phaco power and EPT values were significantly higher in the study group. The safety of the dual-linear foot pedal was comparable to that of a conventional pedal in terms of endothelial cell loss, central corneal thickness, and surgical complications.
