Acute clouding of a trifocal intraocular lens with spontaneous resolution: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundOpacification of hydrophobic and hydrophilic intraocular lenses (IOLs) has been reported. Herein, we report a case of spontaneous resolution of opacification following acute clouding of a trifocal IOL, which consisted of hydrophilic acrylic material (25%) with hydrophobic surface properties, occurring in a cold region in the winter season. CASE PRESENTATION: A young adult with bilateral radiation cataract underwent phacoemulsification using a femtosecond laser and implantation of a trifocal IOL. The trifocal IOL was delivered to the operating theatre 30 min before the surgery. The outside temperature was approximately - 7 °C. The IOL package was warmed using a radiator at approximately 35 °C for 15 min. After the optical region was implanted in the eye, cloudiness was observed, which persisted throughout the operation. Complete clearing of the IOL was apparent after three postoperative hours.
conclusionIn this case, rapid opacification and clearing of the IOL suggested an acute and transient process. IOLs should be stored and shipped at a constant temperature, and sudden temperature fluctuations should be avoided, especially in the colder seasons.
