Delayed HLA-B27-Associated Uveitis Following Uncomplicated Phacovitrectomy: A Case Report.
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
Postoperative inflammation after phacovitrectomy is typically mild, occurs early, and resolves with corticosteroid therapy. Delayed or recurrent uveitis following an initially uneventful postoperative course is uncommon and should prompt evaluation for non-infectious inflammatory causes, including underlying systemic disease. A 71-year-old man developed severe intraocular inflammation shortly after discontinuation of postoperative corticosteroids following uncomplicated phacovitrectomy. The early postoperative course was unremarkable. Repeated and detailed history taking revealed previously undisclosed ankylosing spondylitis with HLA-B27 positivity and a remote episode of iritis. The inflammatory flare was attributed to immune reactivation triggered by surgical stress and steroid withdrawal, necessitating intensive topical and systemic corticosteroid therapy. This case highlights the importance of thorough and repeated medical history assessment in patients with atypical postoperative inflammation. HLA-B27-associated disease should be considered in cases of delayed uveitis following intraocular surgery, as early recognition may influence perioperative management and reduce the risk of recurrent, vision-threatening complications.
