Cystoid macular oedema and iris-fixated intraocular lens treated with intraocular lens exchange: A case series and review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
This series of case reports describes six eyes from five patients that underwent intraocular lens (IOL) exchange with scleral-fixated IOLs for cystoid macular oedema associated with iris-fixated IOLs between 2005 and 2015. Macular oedema was assessed using ocular coherence tomography (OCT). The six eyes in this series were treated by IOL removal and implantation of a scleral -sutured IOL with four points of fixation in the sulcus. Visual acuity improved in all six eyes. On OCT, macular oedema resolved after 3 months in all eyes. There were no surgical complications from the IOL exchange. One eye had a pupilloplasty and another had a diaphragm IOL to treat a major iris impairment from prior surgeries. The cause of cystoid macular oedema in these cases remains controversial but has been well recognized in eyes with iris-sutured IOLs. The absence of sutures with posterior fixation of an iris claw IOL prevents progressive corneal endothelial cell loss but does not prevent macular oedema, even in vitrectomized eyes. In conclusion, macular oedema resolved and visual acuity improved after implant exchange with a secondary scleral-fixated IOL in these cases. This procedure should be considered as a solution to persistent symptomatic cystoid macular oedema from an iris-fixated implant.
