Factors Associated with Retinal Detachment after Pediatric Cataract Surgery in the IRIS® Registry.
Article in Ophthalmology, 2025. 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 leverages the American Academy of Ophthalmology's IRIS® Registry (Intelligent Research in Sight) to identify factors associated with retinal detachment (RD) after pediatric cataract surgery.
designRetrospective cohort study.
participantsAll children (age < 18 years) who underwent cataract surgery between January 2013 and December 2020 at practices that participate in the IRIS Registry.
methodsData collected included patient demographics and medical history. Current Procedural Terminology codes were used to identify procedures for cataract surgery and RD repair. International Classification of Disease codes were used to classify diagnoses such as degenerative high myopia, persistent fetal vasculature, retinopathy of prematurity, ocular trauma, and retinal detachment. The Kaplan-Meier estimator was used to determine the cumulative incidence of retinal detachment diagnosis and repair after cataract surgery. Hazard ratios with 95% confidence intervals were calculated using multivariable Cox regression models.
main outcome measuresCumulative incidence of RD diagnosis and repair within 5 years of cataract surgery.
resultsSeven thousand four hundred seven children (53% male, 49% White non-Hispanic) were identified and included. The cumulative incidence of retinal detachment diagnosis and repair after cataract surgery was 3.8% (95% CI, 3.1%-4.5%) and 1.6% (95% CI, 1.2%-2.0%), respectively. Children with a history of ocular trauma (hazard ratio [HR], 2.22; 95% CI 1.39-3.57; P < 0.001), aphakia (HR, 2.10; 95% CI, 1.43-3.10; P < 0.001), premature retina (HR 2.73; 95% CI, 1.36-5.48; P = 0.005), persistent fetal vasculature (HR, 3.26; 95% CI, 1.58-6.71; P = 0.001), and Hispanic ethnicity (HR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.15-2.54; P = 0.008) were at increased risk of RD diagnosis within 5 years of cataract surgery. Similar risk factors were identified for RD requiring surgical repair.
conclusionsAmong children undergoing cataract surgery in the IRIS Registry, RD was associated with a history of ocular trauma, aphakia, premature retina, persistent fetal vasculature, and Hispanic ethnicity. Identifying risk factors for complications after cataract surgery is essential to guide preoperative decision-making and long-term monitoring to mitigate RD risk in vulnerable patients.
