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 characterize anatomic and visual outcomes following cataract extraction (CE) in eyes with a history of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), with a primary focus on the risk of postoperative retinal detachment (RD).
methodsA systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidelines and the Cochrane Handbook. PubMed, Embase, and Scopus were searched through November 2025 for studies reporting outcomes after CE, with or without intraocular lens implantation, in eyes with a history of ROP. Risk of bias was assessed using ROBINS-I and certainty of evidence using GRADE. Pooled proportions of postoperative RD and final visual acuity were calculated using a random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird). The Freeman-Tukey double arcsine transformation was applied for RD analyses due to zero-event studies. Subgroup analyses compared pediatric (< 18 years) and adult (≥18 years) CE outcomes.
resultsSeven studies published between 1995 and 2019 met inclusion criteria, comprising 108 eyes of 80 patients. The pooled proportion of postoperative RD across all ages was 0.0086 (95% CI, 0.0000-0.0765; I²=22.8%). In age-stratified analysis, the pooled RD proportion in pediatric eyes (40 eyes; 5 studies) was 0.0000 (95% CI, 0.0000-0.0031) and 0.1285 (95% CI, 0.0309-0.2661) among adult eyes (49 eyes; 3 studies), with no significant heterogeneity within subgroups. However, the difference between pediatric and adult subgroups did not reach statistical significance (p = 0.0525). Across the studies reporting visual acuity outcomes (55 eyes; 5 studies), the pooled proportion achieving final best-corrected visual acuity ≥ 20/200 was 0.5232 (95% CI, 0.3000-0.7375). Most studies were rated as serious risk of bias by ROBINS-I and overall certainty of evidence was very low by GRADE.
conclusionEarly postoperative RD after CE appears uncommon in pediatric eyes with ROP but may occur more frequently in adults with a history of ROP.
