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

We aimed to determine the predictive value of the anterior segment and lens structures for intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery. This prospective observational study included 133 nonglaucomatous open-angle eyes with uncomplicated cataracts. The preoperative anterior segment and lens structure measurements were performed. The predictive values of preoperative IOP, anterior chamber depth (ACD), axial length, lens thickness (LT), lens vault (LV), anterior chamber volume, iridocorneal angle, anterior chamber angle 500/750, and angle opening distance 500/750 for IOP reduction were analyzed. IOP reduction was significantly correlated with LV, ACD, LT, and preoperative IOP (R = 0.292, P = .003; r = -0.218, P = .030; R = 0.205, P = .043; and R = 0.660, P < .001, respectively). LV (F [1, 97] = 9.051, P = .003), ACD (F [1, 97] = 4.841, P = .030), LT (F [1, 97] = 3.829, P = .043), and preoperative IOP (F [1, 97] = 74.791, P < .001) were significant predictors of IOP reduction. Preoperative IOP, LV, LT, and ACD were significant predictors of IOP reduction in nonglaucomatous open-angle eyes after uncomplicated phacoemulsification surgery.
