[Opacification of hydrophilic intraocular lens after multiple injections of bevacizumab].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
In the literature various causes of opacification of hydrophilic lenses have been described. Pronounced opacity is a complication that must be taken seriously because it can lead to explantation or exchange of the intraocular lens (IOL). The calcification of hydrophilic IOLs is often made responsible for an explantation. Despite the rapidly increasing number of intravitreal injections, they have so far not been associated with opacification of lenses. This article reports on a female patient where opacification of the hydrophilic lens was obviously associated with multiple intravitreal injections over several years. It involved a secondary calcification with calcium phosphate deposition directly under the surface of the IOL. Possible pathomechanisms are discussed. Due to the increasing number of intravitreal injections the association with IOL opacity should be further evaluated in the future. Generally, with hydrophilic lens materials it must be taken into consideration that these can become opaque following diverse interventions.
