Fluctuations in intraocular pressure before and after femtosecond laser pretreatment for cataract surgery.
Observational study in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2026. 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 analyze the intraocular pressure (IOP) variations during femtosecond laser pretreatment for cataract surgery.
designProspective nonrandomized observational study.
methodsIOP was measured before docking and after removal of suction ring using an Icare ic 100 tonometer on eyes scheduled to undergo femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery on the CatalysTM Precision Laser System. Analysis was done to find out association between post-suction removal IOP with various patient and laser parameters.
resultsA total of 205 eyes of 181 patients with a mean age of 66.28 ± 9.83 years were included. The median predocking and post-suction removal IOP were 17 (IQR, 14-20) mmHg and 26 (IQR, 22-31) mmHg, respectively. The median increase of 9 (IQR, 6-12) mmHg was observed in IOP from predocking to post-suction removal stage. In subgroup analysis, post-suction removal IOP was significantly higher in eyes with shallow anterior chambers ≤2.5 mm (33 mmHg; IQR 28.5-36), thicker lenses ≥5 mm (28.5 mmHg, IQR 25-34.75), and glaucoma (29 mmHg, IQR 24-35). IOP elevation was maximum in eyes with shallow anterior chambers (14 mmHg, IQR 9-16.5), followed by those with thicker lenses (11.5 mmHg, IQR 7-15) and quadrant softened pattern of nucleotomy (11.5 mm Hg, IQR 8-14). Multiple regression analysis found positive association of post-suction removal IOP with predocking IOP, nucleotomy energy, and negative correlation with anterior chamber depth.
conclusionFemtosecond laser pretreatment was associated with a significant IOP rise. Patients with high baseline and predocking IOP, shallow AC, and glaucoma need better perioperative IOP control. Customization using laser parameters with lower energy consumption can help in reducing post treatment IOP.
