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 find out intraoperative and postoperative outcomes of congenital cataract surgery in eyes with microcornea.

methodsThis retrospective consecutive case series study compared outcomes after congenital cataract surgery in eyes with/without microcornea. Infants (<1 year old) who underwent lensectomy surgery left aphakic were included. Microphthalmos was defined as an eye that has a horizontal corneal diameter less than or equal to 9.0 mm.

resultsThere were 40 infants (54 eyes) in the microcornea group and 58 (87 eyes) in the control group. The two groups were age- and sex-matched. The microcornea group showed significantly smaller corneal diameter (

conclusionAlthough microcornea have different features from normal ones, the one-year follow-up after surgery has shown that early surgical intervention for congenital cataracts in eyes with microcornea can result in favourable outcomes with an acceptable rate of postoperative complications. Regular follow-up and timely management of postoperative complications are crucial for successful outcomes.
