Post-Operative Complications After Cataract Surgery in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or Sjögren's Syndrome.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 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
Purpose: To determine the frequency and types of postoperative complications following cataract surgery in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and/or Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Patients and Methods: A retrospective review was conducted of consecutive patients with RA and/or SS who underwent cataract surgery between 2006 and 2018. Results: A total of 100 eyes from 75 patients (mean age 73.1 ± 9.3 years) were included: RA (n=81), SS (n=11), and both RA and SS (n=8). Twenty-nine eyes had preoperative keratoconjunctivitis sicca. Postoperatively, 4% of eyes showed reduced best-corrected visual acuity. Cystoid macular oedema developed in 6 eyes (6%), and 3% experienced prolonged anterior chamber inflammation. One patient with SS developed a paracentral corneal melt without perforation, and another with SS developed postoperative endophthalmitis resulting in complete vision loss. Conclusion: Patients with RA, particularly those with SS and pre-existing dry eye, are at increased risk of postoperative complications after cataract surgery. Careful preoperative assessment and close postoperative monitoring are recommended in this population.
