Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome in cataract surgery: effects of opium use.
Article in International 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
purposeThis study aims to identify risk factors associated with IFIS in patients undergoing phacoemulsification at a tertiary care center.
methodsA prospective cohort study involved 1722 patients aged 40-90 years underwent phacoemulsification with implantation of an intraocular lens (IOL) into the posterior chamber was conducted from March 2024 to April 2025. Exclusion criteria included a history of ocular surgery, trauma, or advanced ocular diseases. Demographic data, ocular parameters, comorbidities, and medication use were collected. The severity of IFIS was graded intraoperatively using the Chang and Campbell criteria. A bivariable and multivariable logistic regression was utilized.
resultsIFIS occurred in 223 patients (cumulative incidence: 13.0%; 95% confidence intervals (CI): 11.4-14.6). Multivariable analysis identified significant risk factors: alpha-blocker use (Adjusted odds ratio (AOR)=11.3; 95%CI: 6.1-20.7), pseudoexfoliation syndrome (AOR=1.88; 95%CI: 1.1-3.02), and opium use of 10 years or more (AOR=1.79; 95%CI: 1.1-2.7). Increasing age was also independently associated with IFIS (AOR=1.01; 95% CI: 1.00-1.02).
conclusionIncreasing age, shorter axial length, smaller pupil size, alpha-blockers, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, and long-term opium use (≥ 10 years) are key predictors of IFIS. A clear dose-response relationship was observed with opium duration, where use for 10 years or more significantly increased the risk, while shorter use did not. A comprehensive review of medication and opium use history is essential for mitigating surgical complications.
