A new knotless technique for combined transscleral fixation of artificial iris, posterior chamber intraocular lens, and penetrating keratoplasty.

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 present a new surgical technique for treating corneal opacity and aniridia with aphakia and the results in a small consecutive case series.
methodsA three-piece acrylic intraocular lens (IOL) was attached to a customized silicone iris prosthesis and fixed with three 10-0 polypropylene sutures in a knotless technique using Z-sutures after trephination of the recipient cornea. The medical records of all consecutive patients who had received a keratoplasty and an implantation of an artificial iris and IOL were reviewed.
resultsFive eyes of five patients were included in the analysis. The mean age of the patients was 46.2 years and the mean follow-up was 24.6 months. The mean best-corrected visual acuity improved from 1.36 logMAR before surgery to 0.78 logMAR after surgery during the follow-up. At the last follow-up visit, the artificial iris-IOL complex was well centered with good positioning in all cases.
conclusionsManagement of post-traumatic aniridia combined with aphakia and corneal scars or graft failure by haptic fixation of a foldable IOL on an artificial iris combined with a simultaneous keratoplasty appears to be a promising approach, which allows to correct a complex lesion with a less traumatic and faster procedure.
