Cataract surgery in the context of age-related macular degeneration: challenges and considerations.
Review in Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts commonly coexist in the aging population, posing unique diagnostic and therapeutic challenges for ophthalmologists. Although cataract surgery can substantially improve visual function, outcomes are often influenced by the type and severity of underlying macular pathology. This narrative review explores current evidence on the impact of cataract surgery in patients with AMD, including preoperative assessment strategies, intraoperative considerations, and postoperative visual expectations. The role of multimodal imaging in detecting subclinical macular changes, advanced intraocular lenses, and the debated relationship between cataract surgery and AMD progression are discussed. Emphasis is placed on personalized patient selection and counseling to optimize outcomes. Overall, with appropriate planning and patient-centered care, cataract surgery remains a safe and beneficial intervention for most individuals with AMD.
