Haptic fracture and dislocation of polyimide intraocular lens after neodymium: YAG laser capsulotomy: A case report.

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
rationaleWe report a case of haptic fracture of polyimide intraocular lens (IOL) and its dislocation after neodymium:YAG (Nd:YAG) laser capsulotomy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of both the fracture and dislocation of the IOL after laser posterior capsulotomy. PATIENT CONCERNS: A 78-year-old male was referred to our clinic with a history of decreased visual acuity after Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy in the right eye. A dislocated IOL was observed on slit lamp examination. DIAGNOSIS: On slit-lamp examination, dislocated IOL with intact anterior capsulorrhexis margin was observed in the right eye.
interventionsWe removed the dislocated IOL and fixed a 3-piece IOL (Acrysof MN60AC, Alcon Laboratories, Inc) in the ciliary sulcus under retrobulbar anesthesia. OUTCOMES: After the operation, the observed uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA) was 20/20 and the measured intraocular pressure (IOP) was 18 mmHg; the IOL was fixed in the ciliary sulcus. LESSONS: Three-piece, silicone-polyimide haptics in IOLs can get fractured after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Thus, it is suggested that sufficient haptic dilation should be ensured while performing Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy in patients with polyimide haptics. Moreover, a small-sized capsulotomy is likely to be helpful in such patients.
