Effect of postoperative nutrient management on macular edema and visual function following phacoemulsification for age-related cataract.
Article in American journal of translational research, 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
objectiveTo evaluate the effects of postoperative nutrient management combined with phacoemulsification on macular edema and visual function recovery in elderly patients with age-related cataracts.
methodsPatients who underwent phacoemulsification at Lishui Huaxia Eye Hospital between January 2022 and December 2024 were enrolled. After propensity score matching (PSM), 60 patients were assigned to each of the study and control groups. Clinical outcomes - including visual acuity, central macular thickness (CMT), total macular volume, incidence of macular edema, visual recovery time, intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal astigmatism, anterior chamber depth (ACD), adverse events, and patient-reported outcomes (sleep quality, pain, inflammation markers, quality-of-life scores) were evaluated and compared.
resultsBaseline characteristics were comparable between the two groups (P>0.05). At postoperative weeks 1 and 12, visual acuity was significantly better in the study group than in the control group (P<0.05). At week 12, the study group exhibited significantly lower CMT (P<0.05), reduced total macular volume (P<0.05), lower incidence of macular edema (1.67% vs. 10.00%, P<0.05), improved visual field mean deviation (P<0.05), and shorter visual recovery time (P<0.05). IOP was also significantly lower in the study group (P<0.05), corneal astigmatism was reduced (P<0.05), and ACD was greater (P<0.05). Patient-reported outcomes favored the study group (all P<0.05). Moreover, the overall postoperative complication rate was significantly lower in the study group compared to the control group (10.00% vs. 23.33%, P=0.05).
conclusionPostoperative nutrient management combined with phacoemulsification significantly reduces the incidence of macular edema and accelerates visual function recovery in elderly patients with age-related cataracts.
