Retrospective evaluation of changes in choroidal thickness after cataract surgery.
Article in European journal of medical research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In this retrospective study, we investigated the changes in choroidal thickness (CT) using enhanced depth imaging spectral domain-optical coherence tomography (EDI-OCT) and intraocular pressure (IOP) following phacoemulsification. Twenty eyes of 18 patients who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were included in this study. All patients underwent a detailed ophthalmologic examination. EDI-OCT was used to measure CT preoperatively, and postoperatively at days 3 and 10, and months 1, 3, and 6. CT was measured at the fovea and at points 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm nasal and temporal to the fovea. The data were compared using one-way analysis of variance. The correlation between the changes in the CT and IOP in all sectors was analyzed. There was statistically significant change in IOP after cataract surgery (P = 0.000). The IOP reached a minimum (10.43 ± 1.64 mmHg) at 6 months postoperatively. Postoperatively CT increased significantly at three sectors: the subfovea (P = 0.019), 1.5 mm nasal to the fovea (P = 0.003), and 3 mm nasal to the fovea (P = 0.000), and gradually thickened over time, reaching a peak (288.87 ± 67.70 µm) at 6 months postoperatively. The CT increase was negatively correlated with the decrease in IOP within 6 months after surgery (P < 0.05). This study demonstrated that after cataract surgery, the IOP decreased and the choroid thickened, lasting up to 6 months. Studying the changes in CT and IOP after cataract surgery will help deepen the understanding of fundus diseases associated with cataract surgery and will also play a guiding role in solving clinical complications.
