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

backgroundTo investigate the risk factors and prognosis of clinical pseudophakic cystoid macular edema (PCME) after uneventful phacoemulsification surgery in patients without pre-existing fundus diseases.

methodsThis was a retrospective case-control study. Medical records between August 2020 and August 2023 were reviewed for patients who had no previous fundus diseases and developed clinical PCME. A control group was randomly chosen and the risk factors for PCME was analyzed by binary logistic regression. Structure and visual prognosis of the PCME cohort were observed and compared among subgroups undergoing different treatment measures.

resultsForty-seven eyes of 47 patients with PCME were included. The development of PCME was associated with higher systolic blood pressure (OR, 1.048; 95%CI 1.002, 1.097; P = .042), no posterior vitreous detachment (OR, 0.215; 95%CI: 0.553, 0.887; P = .032) and shorter axial lengths (OR, 0.401; 95%CI 0.161, 0.997; P = .049) compared to controls. During a mean follow-up of 8.26 months, 36 eyes (76.6%) showed visual improvement with decreased macular thickness. Different treatment modalities, including observation, topical NSAIDs, and intervention therapy, have no significant differences on the visual prognosis (P = 1.000). However, the intervention group had a shorter recovery time compared to the observation group (28.6 vs. 45.9 days, P = .037).

conclusionPCME remains an encountered morbidity in patients without pre-existing fundus diseases. Shorter axial lengths, absence of posterior vitreous detachment, and higher systolic blood pressure are risk factors of PCME. Active intervention failed to improve the prognosis of PCME but could shorten the recovery time.
