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 aimed to investigate the clinical efficacy of ultrasonic emulsification plus IOL implantation in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract.
methodsThe clinical data of 81 patients (91 eyes) with primary angle-closure glaucoma comorbid with cataract in our hospital were retrospectively analyzed and divided into two groups based on surgical modality. Group A (n=40, 45 eyes) underwent trabeculectomy and group B (n=41, 46 eyes) underwent ultrasonic emulsification and IOL implantation. The success rate, best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle, visual field, cornea's endothelial cell count, complications, and patient satisfaction were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe surgical success rate in group B was 97.83%, significantly higher than 86.67% in group A (
conclusionThe clinical efficacy of ultrasonic emulsification combined with IOL implantation is remarkable in patients with primary angle-closure glaucoma and cataract, which is conducive to improving postoperative visual acuity, lowering intraocular pressure, increasing the atrial angle, and improving visual field defects. It is also with high safety, but has little effect on cornea's endothelial cell count.
