Is glycaemic control essential for cataract surgery among patients with diabetes mellitus?
Article in Bioinformation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Diabetic patients are at increased risk of cataracts, with higher risks of intraoperative and postoperative complications. Therefore, it is of interest to explore the challenges in performing cataract surgery on diabetic patients. Hence, a prospective study of 300 Type II diabetes patients undergoing cataract surgery found that 69.3% achieved post-operative visual acuity of 6/18 or better. Common complications included iritis (9.7%) and striate keratopathy (7.7%). The severity of diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, and poor preoperative visual acuity were linked to worse postoperative outcomes. Intravitreal steroids may improve outcomes in patients with diabetic macular edema.
