Correlation between early corneal edema and endothelial cell loss after phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the correlation between early corneal edema and loss of corneal endothelial cells after phacoemulsification. Methods: The corneal condition of each operated eye was observed using slit-lamp biomicroscopy at different time points, and the clinical score of corneal edema was determined. Central corneal thickness (CCT) and endothelial cell density (ECD) of each operative eye were measured by corneal endothelial microscopy at different time points. Results: There were 10 male (41.67%) and 14 female (58.33%) cataract patients with a mean age of aged 71.88 ± 10.14 years. The clinical score of corneal edema grade in cataract patients on the first postoperative day (1.79 ± 1.10) was significantly higher than that before surgery (0.0 ± 0.0) ( Conclusion: Early corneal edema after cataract surgery is closely associated with the loss of central corneal endothelial cells. Therefore, the grade of corneal edema and CCT on the first day after cataract surgery can be used as effective indices for predicting the effects of phacoemulsification on corneal endothelial cells.
