Factors Associated With Postoperative Outcomes in Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery.

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 This study aimed to assess the postoperative outcomes of patients who underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) and the demographic and clinical factors associated with favorable visual outcomes. Methodology We conducted a secondary data analysis of 162 eyes from 145 patients at a tertiary eye hospital from January 2020 to August 2022. We collected pre and postoperative (one month) visual and refractive outcomes. We calculated the postoperative efficacy using the following formula: 1 - (postoperative cylinder - preoperative anticipated cylinder)/(preoperative cylinder - preoperative anticipated cylinder) × 100. Results The mean (SD) age of the study population was 64.9 (8.5) years. There was a significant change in the preoperative cylinder compared with the postoperative cylinder (-0.66 (-0.80, -0.56) D vs. 0 (-0.50, 0) D; p < 0.001). Postoperatively, about 69.8% (113) had an absolute cylinder of ≤0.25 D, 19.8% (32) had a cylinder of >0.25-0.50 D, and the remaining 10.5% (17) had a cylinder of >0.50 D. The median (interquartile range) preoperative cylinder was significantly different in the >0.50 D group compared with ≤0.25 D group (-0.80 (-1.00, -0.62) D vs. -0.65 (-0.75, -0.54) D; p < 0.001). The mean (SD) efficacy of the procedure was 72.2% (47.3%). The anterior eccentricity values at 8 mm chords were significantly different in the lower efficacy group and higher efficacy group (0.46 (0.29, 0.55) vs. 0.53 (0.42, 0.61); p = 0.04). The proportion of eyes with less than 100% efficacy was significantly higher in those with against-the-rule astigmatism compared with oblique and with-the-rule astigmatism (43.6% vs. 24.0%; p = 0.009). Conclusions The majority of the eyes operated with FLACS had postoperative astigmatism of less than or equal to 0.25 D and 100% postoperative efficacy, with no major complications. Lower efficacy of the procedure was associated with higher preoperative cylinder, length of the arc, lower eccentricity of the cornea, and against-the-rule astigmatism.
