Preoperative and Intraoperative Risk Factors for Short-Term Corneal Endothelial Cell Loss After Phacoemulsification in Dogs: A Comparative Study.
Article in Veterinary ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo investigate the short-term impact of phacoemulsification on corneal endothelial cells and corneal thickness and identify associated risk factors. ANIMAL STUDIED: Twenty-four dogs (33 eyes) scheduled for phacoemulsification to treat cataracts were evaluated. PROCEDURES: Preoperative parameters, including age, axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness (LT), were measured. Intraoperative parameters recorded included the average phacoemulsification power, absolute phacoemulsification time (APT), and effective phacoemulsification time (EPT). Corneal endothelial cell density (CED) and central corneal thickness (CCT) were assessed preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively using specular microscopy and optical coherence tomography, respectively.
resultsCED significantly decreased from 2085 ± 240 to 1741 ± 29 cells/mm
conclusionsKey factors influencing corneal endothelial cell damage in canine cataract patients undergoing phacoemulsification were identified. These findings suggest that shorter AL and prolonged APT may be risk factors for endothelial cell loss.
