Impact of Delayed Sequential Bilateral Cataract Surgery on Diabetic Macular Edema: A Real-World Study in Northwestern China.

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
Objectives: To assess the incidence and characteristics of treatment-requiring diabetic macular edema (TR-DME) in eyes after delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery in patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods: This was a retrospective study involving patients with diabetes who underwent cataract surgery at Shaanxi Eye Hospital between January 2019 and December 2021. The incidence and characteristics of a first episode of TR-DME after delayed sequential bilateral cataract surgery were observed. Results: A total of 1553 individuals (3106 eyes) were included in the study. All patients underwent bilateral cataract surgery with the prescribed interval of surgery within one month. The incidence of TR-DME was 0.52% in the year before surgery versus 1.87% in the year after surgery ( Conclusions: This is the first real-world study of the effects of cataract surgery on the development of TR-DME. The study was performed at the largest ophthalmic center in Northwestern China. The findings demonstrate that the incidence of TR-DME increased significantly after cataract surgery, with the highest incidence between two and four months after surgery. Patients with shorter intervals between bilateral cataract surgeries were at a high risk.
