  • The non-inferiority was verified if the lower bound of this 95% CI was at least −7.5%.

  • *Mydrane—reference.

  • †Non-inferiority was based on the exact 95% CI of the between-group difference in responder rates and tested with a non-inferiority margin of −7.5%.

  • ITT, intent-to-treat set of patients; mITT, modified intent-to-treat set of patients; Mydrane group, patients who received an intracameral injection of a standardised combination of tropicamide 0.02%, phenylephrine 0.31% and lidocaine 1% just after the first incision; PP, per protocol; Reference group, patients who received a standard topical regimen of one drop each, of tropicamide 0.5% and phenylephrine 10% repeated three times at 10 min intervals beginning 30 min before surgery.
