Cataract Surgery and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Hospital-based Prospective Cohort Study.

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
Objective Cataract and chronic kidney disease (CKD) occur with increasing frequency with age and share common risk factors including smoking, diabetes, and hypertension. We evaluated the risk of incident cataract surgery in patients with non-dialysis-dependent CKD and dialysis-dependent CKD compared to non-CKD patients, while taking into account the competing risk of death. Methods The participants included 1,839 patients from Sado General Hospital enrolled in the Project in Sado for Total Health (PROST) between June 2008 and December 2016 (54% men; mean age, 69 years). Among these patients, 50%, 44%, and 6% had non-CKD, non-dialysis-dependent CKD, and dialysis-dependent CKD, respectively. Results During a median follow-up of 5.6 years (interquartile range, 4.7-7.1), 193 participants underwent cataract surgery [18.7 (95% confidence interval (CI), 16.2-21.5)/1,000 person-years] and 425 participants died without undergoing cataract surgery [41.0 (95% CI, 37.4-45.2)/1,000 person-years]. The cumulative incidence of cataract surgery was the highest in the dialysis-dependent CKD group, followed by the non-dialysis-dependent CKD and non-CKD groups (log-rank p=0.002). After adjusting for potential confounding factors, the dialysis-dependent CKD group [hazard ratio (HR) 2.48; 95% CI 1.43-4.31], but not the non-dialysis-dependent CKD group (HR, 1.01; 95% CI 0.74-1.38), had a higher risk of cataract surgery than the non-CKD group. However, this association was no longer significant according to a competing risk analysis (sub-hazard ratio, 1.67; 95% CI 0.93-3.03). Conclusion Dialysis-dependent CKD patients were found to have an increased risk of cataract surgery; however, the association was attenuated and no longer significant when death was considered a competing risk.
