1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 assess the outcomes of intra-lenticular lens aspiration (ILLA) in paediatric cases with anterior dislocation of lens.

methodsA retrospective review of medical records of cases with anterior dislocation of the lens in children (age < 16 years) that underwent ILLA between June 2017 and May 2018 was performed. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), and anterior segment findings were noted at presentation and follow-up. Surgical notes were reviewed for all cases. Post-operative central corneal thickness (CCT) and central macular thickness (CMT) were recorded.

resultsEleven eyes of eight patients with a median age of ten years underwent ILLA. There were four males and four females. The median duration of symptoms was 2 months, CDVA was 1.77 logMAR, and IOP was 16 mm of Hg. Ten eyes had corneo-lenticular touch with corneal oedema, and two had raised IOP at presentation. Homocystinuria (n = 2/8), Microspherophakia (n = 2/8), Marfan syndrome (n = 1/8), Buphthalmos (n = 1/8) and Ectopia lentis et pupillae (n = 1/8) were the identifiable causes for anterior dislocation. There were no intra-operative complications in any case. Immediate post-operative corneal oedema and raised IOP was observed in nine and three cases respectively and was treated with medical therapy. The median post-operative CDVA and IOP at 6-months was 1 logMAR and 15 mm of Hg respectively. The median CCT and CMT were 516 and 248 μm respectively. Five eyes developed a central corneal descemet scar.

conclusionsILLA is a safe and effective technique for surgical removal of an anteriorly dislocated lens in paediatric cases.
