Abandoned Cataract Surgeries: An Analysis of Surgical Referrals to a Tertiary Eye Center.
Article in Cureus, 2024. 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
purposeThis study aims to analyze the outcomes of cases of abandoned cataract surgeries referred to a tertiary eye center.
methodsThis retrospective observational case series includes eleven cases referred to a tertiary eye center following abandoned cataract surgeries. The preoperative factors, intraoperative management, and postoperative outcomes were recorded and analyzed.
resultsThe mean age of presentation was 56.8 ± 13.7 years, and the median time from the primary surgery to presentation at the tertiary eye center was four days (range: two hours to four weeks). There was an association with hypermature cataracts in 36.3% (4/11) of cases, diabetes in 36.3% (4/11) of cases, and pseudo-exfoliation syndrome in 18.2% (2/11) of cases. The primary cataract surgery was aborted after making an incision and without initiating capsulorhexis in 45.5% (5/11) of cases. Descemet's membrane detachment and corneal edema were present in nearly half (45.5%) of the cases.
conclusionA thorough preoperative assessment, early identification of intraoperative complications, timely referral by the primary surgeon, and appropriate and prompt intervention by the second surgeon are essential for improving visual outcomes.
