The short term impact of uncomplicated cataract surgery on retinal layers thickness.

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
Objective or purpose: To detect the short-term impact of cataract surgery on retinal layers thickness, as the exact mechanism of fundus changes after phacoemulsification has not yet been fully clarified. Design: A retrospective observational study. Subjects participants and/or controls: Seventy eyes of 70 patients with age ranging from 49 to 92 years, scheduled for cataract surgery, were included. Methods intervention or testing: All subjects underwent a complete ophthalmological examination, including ART-OCT volume with Heidelberg Spectralis before and approximately one month later cataract surgery. Main outcome measures: The macula was divided into a central foveal region and four parafoveal regions (superior, inferior, nasal, temporal). The scans were then automatically segmented into the different retinal layers and the changes in each layer were assessed. Results: The results revealed that both the inner retinal layers and the entire retina exhibited a statistically significant thickening in foveal and parafoveal region: IRL ( Conclusion: This study may provide a pathophysiological explanation for post-phacoemulsification changes affecting the retina.
