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: To investigate the incidence and risk factors of intraoperative complications during phacoemulsification surgery performed by ophthalmology residents at an academic training center. Methods: This comparative case series included 1121 eyes of 821 patients that underwent phacoemulsification cataract surgery by ophthalmology residents from March 2020 to March 2021. Patients' medical records were reviewed for demographics, systemic and ophthalmic comorbidities, biometric data, surgical details, anesthesia type, residents' training year, and the occurrence of any intraoperative complications. Multivariate models were used to identify potential risk factors for intraoperative complications. Results: Intraoperative complications were observed in 63 eyes (5.6%). From the most to the least frequent, they included posterior capsular rupture with vitreous loss in 29 eyes (2.6%), anterior capsular tear in 21 eyes (1.9%), nucleus drop in 8 eyes (0.7%), zonular dehiscence in 3 eyes (0.3%), and posterior capsular rupture without vitreous loss in 2 eyes (0.2%). On univariate analysis, mature or brunescent cataracts (OR = 3.096, Conclusion: We observed a higher rate of intraoperative complications in eyes with mature or brunescent cataracts or in procedures performed by less experienced residents. Proper case selection and direct attending supervision are crucial in preventing intraoperative complications at ophthalmology training centers.
