Changes in corneal curvature and astigmatism in senile cataract patients after phacoemulsification.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Purpose: Analysis of changes in corneal curvature and astigmatism after phacoemulsification for senile cataracts. Methods: Retrospective collection of clinical data from patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification at the First Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University. The changes in total corneal curvature, anterior surface curvature, posterior surface curvature, and astigmatism were measured by the Sirius system. The axial length was measured by Lenstar 900. Results: The total corneal curvature and anterior surface curvature at 3 months were all larger than those before phacoemulsification, and the difference was statistically significant ( Conclusion: Phacoemulsification can lead to increased postoperative corneal curvature in elderly cataract patients, and with the growth of the axial length, the corneal astigmatism was increased.
