Effectiveness of Manual Small-Incision Cataract Surgery in Treating White Cataracts.
Article in Cureus, 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
aimTo evaluate the outcomes of manual small-incision cataract surgery (MSICS) in patients with white cataracts, including those with systemic comorbidities.
introductionCataract remains a leading cause of blindness. MSICS is a cost-effective, safe technique suitable for white cataracts and patients with systemic conditions. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis is a retrospective study from 108 patients (108 eyes) who underwent MSICS (May 2023 to October 2024). Preoperative assessments included ocular and systemic evaluations. Surgical outcomes and complications were analyzed.
resultsIn the present study, 99% achieved best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) ≥ 6/18, and 89% achieved ≥ 6/9 at 45 days. Intraoperative complications were rare (one case of posterior capsular rupture). Postoperative complications occurred in 18.5% of cases (corneal edema, iritis); all were resolved before discharge.
conclusionMSICS is safe, effective, and cost-efficient technique, offering excellent visual outcomes even in complex cases involving white cataracts and systemic comorbidities.
