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

BACKGROUND/

aimTo evaluate alterations in total antioxidant capacity (TAC) and ascorbic acid (AA) levels in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) compared with conventional cataract surgery. PATIENTS AND

methodsA prospective non-randomized study was conducted wherein 18 and 36 patients undergoing FLACS and conventional cataract surgery, respectively, with the same phacoemulsification and femtosecond laser devices were enrolled. Samples of aqueous humor were obtained via paracentesis before and 1 day after the cataract surgery, and TAC and AA concentrations were determined. The generalized linear mixed model was adopted to determine the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of changes in TAC and AA between groups.

resultsThe TAC and AA levels significantly decreased postoperatively in both groups (

conclusionPatients with high myopia and dense cataract may consider FLACS to reduce the possibility of oxidative stress-related postoperative complications.
