The effect of phacoemulsification surgery on early stage retrobulbar blood flow in patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome.

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
purposeEvaluation of the effect of phacoemulsification surgery on retrobulbar blood flow in cataract patients with pseudoexfoliation syndrome (PES).
methodsThe 104 eyes of 52 cataract patients with bilateral PES were included in the study. The preoperative and the postoperative first month peak systolic velocity (PSV), end-diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive index (RI), and pulsatility index (PI) values of the central retinal artery (CRA) and ophthalmic artery (OA) of the eyes that underwent surgery and the other eyes that did not were evaluated with color Doppler ultrasonography. While the preoperative and postoperative 1st month values of the operated eye were compared, postoperative 1st month values of the operated eye were compared with the other eye that did not undergo surgery.
resultsPSV and EDV values of the CRA and OA were found to be statistically significantly lower in the postoperative period compared to the preoperative period in the operated eye (p = 0.05, p = 0.017, p < 0.001, p = 0.003, respectively). When the operated and non-operated eyes were compared, the CRA PSV value was statistically significantly lower in the operated eye while no statistically significant change was observed between the groups in terms of the CRA EDV and OA PSV and EDV values (p = 0.043, p = 0.153, p = 0.091, p = 0.264, respectively). No difference was present between the groups in terms of RI and PI values of the CRA and OA (p > 0.05).
conclusionPhacoemulsification surgery causes a decrease in retrobulbar blood flow in the early postoperative period in cataract patients with PES.
