Ocular characteristics and outcomes of phacoemulsification in patients with cataract after renal transplantation.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo explore ocular characteristics of patients with cataracts after renal transplantation and analyze the results of phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
methodsPatients with cataracts after renal transplantation and control patients who underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation were enrolled. All patients underwent phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation. Visual acuity, intraocular pressure, type of lens opacity, corneal endothelial cell density, and ocular biological parameters were evaluated before surgery. Visual prognosis, dry eye, and postoperative complications were monitored for 6 months after phacoemulsification.
resultsWe analyzed 25 eyes of 16 patients after renal transplantation and 30 eyes of 21 control patients. The most common type of cataract of renal transplantation group was posterior subcapsular, while the most common type of cataract of control group was cortical. Significant differences in corneal astigmatism, white-to-white ratio, and keratometry values were observed between the groups. The postoperative visual acuity of both groups significantly improved following surgery. Postoperative complications, such as the degree of anterior and posterior capsule opacification and the incidence of a requirement of neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet laser capsulotomy, were significantly lower in the renal transplantation group. Moreover, secondary glaucoma occurred in two eyes in the renal transplantation group.
conclusionThis study showed that cataracts after renal transplantation were mostly posterior subcapsular. Postoperative visual acuity recovered well in most patients, with reduced incidence of postoperative complications. This study suggested that phacoemulsification combined with IOL implantation was safe and effective, providing a reference for multi-focal IOL implantation in kidney transplant recipients.
