1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

To determine the incidence and identify risk factors of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) following paediatric cataract surgery. This systematic review and meta-analysis adhered to PRISMA guidelines and was registered in PROSPERO (CRD42024538383). A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases, including Cochrane CENTRAL, PubMed/MEDLINE, SCOPUS, Web of Science, ScienceDirect and Google Scholar, up to December 2024. Studies were included if they reported on RRD following cataract surgery in paediatric populations (0-18 years) with a minimum follow-up of 4 months. Data extraction was performed independently by two authors, with disagreements resolved through consultation with a third author. Risk of bias was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and statistical analysis was performed using R software version 4.5.0, with leave-one-out analysis conducted for outcomes with substantial heterogeneity (I
