Macular changes after cataract surgery.
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: This article aims to highlight if the central macular retina suffers changes after cataract surgery, and to evaluate the eventually discovered changes regarding persistence. Material and method: This retrospective study, which lasted over three years (2021-2023), included patients who underwent cataract surgery performed by one surgeon. Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) imaging assessed macular changes and measured the central macular thickness. Results: A total of 240 eyes with diagnosed senile cataract were included in this study. The mean age was 66 years ± 4 years. Preoperative central foveal thickness was 210 ± 27.3 µm, the postoperative thickness on day 1 was 234.3 ± 40.2 µm, at 6 months 230.5 ± 35.2 µm, and the 1-year follow-up 229.2 ± 30.3 µm. Discussion: Macular changes after cataract surgery are easily confirmed by SD-OCT. The evaluation and monitoring of macular changes can be done by using central macular thickness assessment. Conclusions: The study provides data from a Romanian pool of patients. The values correlated well with those from similar studies of SD-OCT examinations, but differences were still observed, as there were different devices for performing SD-OCTs.
