Combined phacovitrectomy for retinal detachment and cataract-macular attachment and visual fixation as predictors of postoperative refractive error.

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
Background/Objectives: To evaluate the effect of macular status and fixation, as determined by chord alpha, on refractive outcomes following combined phacovitrectomy for retinal detachment. Although an optical biometer can be used to calculate the required dioptric power of the intraocular lens, loss of central fixation can introduce errors into the biometric parameters. Design: Retrospective single-center observational study. Methods: Patients with retinal detachment and cataract who underwent combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy following swept-source optical coherence tomography-based biometry (ZEISS IOLMaster 700) were included, and their preoperative macular status, chord-alpha length, and resulting refractive error at the final follow-up appointment were recorded. Results: A total of 305 eyes were evaluated, of which 150 had macular detachment. There was a statistically significantly higher rate of refractive error in eyes with macular detachment compared to eyes without ( Conclusions: Compared to non-macular involvement, macular detachment led to worse refractive outcomes in combined phacovitrectomy, and chord alpha, as a marker for central fixation, might serve as an explanation. Further research is needed to determine whether combined phacoemulsification and vitrectomy should be performed in patients with macular detachment.
