Outcomes of Scleral-fixated Intraocular-lens in Children with Idiopathic Ectopia Lentis.

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
purposeThe purpose of the study was to review the safety and stability of scleral-fixated intraocular lens (IOL) 2 years after implantation in children with idiopathic ectopia lentis (EL).
methodsThis retrospective case series enrolled children with EL managed between 2011 and 2015 at a tertiary eye hospital in the eastern of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected on age, gender, vision, isolated or syndromic pathology, intraoperative and postoperative complications, spherical equivalent refraction, and final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
resultsThe series included 18 eyes of 11 children with EL (6 males and 5 females). There were 7 bilateral and 4 unilateral cases. The median age was 3.5 years (25% quartile 1 year; range: 1-8 years). Preoperatively, fixation was absent in 3 eyes, 8 eyes were fixating but vision could not be recorded. In the remaining seven eyes, median distant visual acuity was 0.1 (25% quartile: 0.08). The median postoperative follow-up was 24 months (25% quartile, 7 months). Complications included two eyes with iris capture and one eye with lens subluxation requiring re-implantation. Postoperative BCVA was better than 20/60 in 15 (83%) eyes. At last follow-up, 6 eyes required myopic correction, 1 eye was emmetropic, and 11 eyes were hypermetropic. One eye with glaucoma was managed medically.
conclusionScleral fixated IOL in eyes of young children with EL had good visual outcomes and high stability. However, there is a high incidence of residual refractive error.
