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

aimTo evaluate the efficacy of second-stage phacoemulsification (PE) of complicated initial cataract after vitreoretinal surgery (VRS) in patients with advanced proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR).

methodsTotally 216 patients with PDR and complicated initial cataract who underwent surgery were included. These patients were divided into four groups according to their management. In the 1

resultsPatients in subgroup Ia and group III had better functional results than those in subgroup IIa and group IV, respectively (

conclusionPE of initial cataract at the second stage after VRS in patients with advanced PDR provides a sparing approach to surgical treatment in this category of patients and allows to improve anatomical and functional results of VRS. In addition, it contributes to reduction of number and severity of postoperative complications.
