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

aimTo investigate the effectiveness of combination therapy with transzonular triamcinolone-moxifloxacin and conventional perioperative drops in reducing postoperative complications of cataract surgery.

methodsElectronic medical records of cataract surgery patients (single surgeon) were reviewed from January 2018 to September 2021. The rate of postoperative complications including prolonged and/or recurrent postoperative inflammation, endophthalmitis, cystoid macular edema (CME), and intraocular pressure (IOP) was compared between the patients receiving combinative therapy and patients receiving drops only.

resultsTotally 596 patients and 1057 eyes (Combinative-Therapy group 493 and Drop-Only group 564) were included in this study. Using combination therapy reduced the relative risk of postoperative inflammation by 26.9% (16.6% Combinative-Therapy

conclusionThe combinative approach of transzonular triamcinolone-moxifloxacin plus perioperative eyedrops is an effective method to minimize postoperative inflammation, with better visual outcomes. It could potentially reduce the risk of postoperative endophthalmitis and CME (near-significant
