Research progress on the impact of cataract surgery on corneal endothelial cells.
Review in Advances in ophthalmology practice and research. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
Background: Cataracts are a common eye disease and a major cause of blindness in China and worldwide. In China, the incidence of cataracts among people over 60 years old is as high as 80%. Surgery is the primary treatment for various types of cataracts, but such invasive procedures can affect corneal endothelial cells to some extent. Content: Cataract surgery can damage corneal endothelial cells, leading to complications such as corneal edema in mild cases. Severe damage can result in endothelial decompensation, necessitating secondary corneal endothelial transplantation. Preoperative thorough assessment of endothelial status, intraoperative endothelial protection measures, and postoperative active use of medications to prevent further damage to endothelial cells can reduce endothelial cell loss. Factors influencing endothelial cell status include whether the patient has related systemic diseases or ocular conditions, the hardness of the nucleus, the choice of surgical incision, the method of nuclear fragmentation, the type of viscoelastic agent used, the orientation of the phacoemulsification needle bevel, the duration and energy of ultrasound use, the choice of fluid control system, the use of protective auxiliary instruments, the application of intraocular lens scaffold technology, femtosecond laser assistance, and the use of certain medications. Conclusions: Actively regulating the factors affecting corneal endothelial cells to reduce damage related to cataract surgery is crucial. This paper reviews the existing literature on various factors affecting corneal endothelial cells during cataract surgery and explores future developments and research directions.
