Optimal timing for cataract surgery in patients with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
Article in International journal of 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
aimTo investigate the optimal timing and therapeutic effects of cataract surgery in patients with moderate to severe thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO).
methodsData from TAO patients who underwent cataract surgery between 2014 and 2024 were analyzed. patients were categorized into two groups based on the hospital where their cataract surgery was performed: an external hospital surgery group and an in-house hospital surgery group. Patients in external hospital presenting with complications within six months postoperatively were assessed for clinical features, imaging, thyroid function, and outcomes. Patients who underwent surgery at West China Hospital were evaluated for clinical status, imaging, laboratory findings, and manifestations.
resultsIn the external hospital group (
conclusionIn patients with moderate to severe active TAO complicated by cataracts, delaying cataract surgery until 6mo of TAO control should be considered if cataracts are stable. Simultaneous anti-inflammatory treatment and cataract surgery should be performed for mature/hypermature cataracts, and TAO management should be continued after surgery.
