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

purposeThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in corneal endothelial cell density (CECD) occurring after cataract phacoemulsification surgery and identify factors associated with cell loss. MATERIALS AND

methodsThis was a retrospective study involving patients who underwent cataract phacoemulsification surgery between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2018, at two private hospitals. Demographic data and biometric parameters were obtained preoperatively. Ultrasound metrics were recorded for each operation, including total on time (TOT), total equivalent power in position 3, and cumulative dissipated energy (CDE). Using corneal specular microscopy, CECD was measured preoperatively and postoperatively at 12, 24, and 36 months. Factors associated with decreased CECD were identified.

resultsThis study included 223 eyes of 133 patients. The mean CECD was 2530.03 ± 285.42 cells/mm

conclusionThe greatest decrease in CECD occurred during the first year after cataract surgery, and the amount of cell loss was influenced by both baseline patient characteristics and ultrasound metrics. Longer-term prospective studies in a larger cohort may yield more information.
