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/

aimThis study aimed to review the influence of different total antioxidant capacity (TAC) on the incidence of postoperative complications of cataract surgery. MATERIALS AND

methodsA prospective, non-randomized controlled trial was conducted, and individuals who received cataract surgery were enrolled. These individuals were then categorized into groups according to the mean TAC levels of the whole population, resulting in 25 eyes assigned to the high-TAC group and 30 eyes to the low-TAC group. The main outcomes were postoperative superficial keratitis, anterior chamber (AC) inflammation, corneal edema, and ocular hypertension. The generalized linear mixed model was used to calculate the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for the main outcomes between groups.

resultsOne day postoperatively, the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was significantly better in the high-TAC group (

conclusionA low TAC status is associated with a higher incidence of postoperative corneal edema and ocular hypertension.
