Risk factors and predictive model for corneal edema in patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
purposeTo identify the risk factors associated with developing corneal edema in patients undergoing cataract surgery and construct a predictive model based on the patient’s clinical characteristics.
methodsIn total, 502 patients who underwent cataract surgery at a tertiary hospital between January 2021 and December 2023 were included in this study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate risk factors for corneal edema. A prediction model was constructed, and its performance was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis. The model’s predictive performance was assessed using the area under the ROC curve (AUC).
resultsCorneal edema was observed in 393 patients after cataract surgery. Multivariate analysis revealed that advanced age (odds ratio [OR], 1.027; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.008–1.048; P = 0.007) was associated with an increased risk of corneal edema. Conversely, preoperative visual acuity ranged from 0.01 to 0.10 (OR: 0.476; 95% CI: 0.239–0.951; P = 0.035) and ≥ 0.10 (OR: 0.249; 95% CI: 0.141–0.437; P < 0.001), and intraoperative use of carbachol (OR: 0.378; 95% CI: 0.229–0.623; P < 0.001) were associated with a reduced risk of corneal edema. These combined factors predicted the risk of postoperative corneal edema in patients with cataract with an AUC of 71.5% (95% CI: 65.8%-77.1%; P < 0.001).
conclusionThis study’s findings revealed that a multivariate model based on patient age, preoperative visual acuity, and intraoperative use of carbachol can predict the risk of postoperative corneal edema in patients with cataract, demonstrating a moderate predictive value.
