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 investigate the surgical outcomes of patients undergoing combined cataract extraction (CE) and silicone oil removal (SOR).
methodsCharts of patients aged 18 and over who underwent combined CE and SOR between January 1, 2013, and December 31, 2023 were reviewed at four academic medical centers in Louisiana, United States. Surgical complications and outcomes were reported. Data was stratified by surgeon level of training and order in which operations were performed.
resultsSeventy-one eyes were included. The incidence of posterior capsule (PC) tear was 9% (6/71), and the incidence of dropped nucleus was 3% (2/71). The overall complication rate was lower in the eyes that underwent CE prior to SO removal [14% (7/51) vs. 32%(6/19), p = 0.005], but there was no significant difference in PC tear [8% (4/52) vs. 11% (2/19), p = 0.5] or dropped nucleus [2% (1/52) vs. 5% (1/19), p = 0.36]. When stratifying by surgeon training level, there was no statistically significant difference in PC tear [11% (5/46) vs. 4% (1/25), p = 0.41] or dropped nucleus [2% (1/46) vs. 4% (1/25), p = 0.54] between surgeries performed by residents versus fellows or attendings. The incidence of visually significant posterior capsule opacification was high, with 32 (45%) eyes and 10 (14%) eyes requiring early laser or intra-operative capsulotomy.
conclusionsCataract extraction during combined CE and SOR has a high complication rate compared to routine surgery. Overall complication rate was lower in eyes that underwent CE prior to SOR. There was no significant difference between surgeries performed by residents compared to fellows and attendings.
