Clinical spectrum and surgical outcomes in spherophakia: a prospective interventional study.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 papers.
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
PurposeTo study the varied clinical presentations of patients with spherophakia, their management using surgical methods, and the clinical outcomes.Patients and methodsA prospective interventional study of 13 patients of spherophakia who presented to us from January 2014 and were followed up over the course of their treatment, and the data were documented for analysis.ResultsIn all, 26 eyes of 13 patients were reviewed and the median age of presentation was 12±12.05 years. All patients had a bilateral presentation with 22 eyes having lenticular myopia with a mean refractive error of -11.5±12.945 DS. Ten eyes presented with glaucoma of which six had raised intraocular pressure (IOP) >21 mm Hg. A total of 23 eyes underwent lens extraction for dislocation/subluxation. Lens extraction helped lower overall IOP. Refractive rehabilitation was done with ACIOL, posterior chamber intraocular lens (PCIOL) with capsular tension ring, and scleral-fixated intraocular lens (SFIOL) in respective cases with ACIOLs being the most commonly used option.ConclusionsSpherophakia is a rare condition, which exhibits a varying degree of lenticular myopia, glaucoma, and subluxation of the crystalline lens. Lensectomy with proper rehabilitation using ACIOL, PCIOL, or SFIOL is a method of managing subluxation and unacceptable myopia. Lensectomy may also be a viable option of controlling glaucoma alongside medications and glaucoma surgery for the management of glaucoma in such cases.
