The Effect of Capsulotomy Shape on Intraocular Light-Scattering after Nd:YAG Laser Capsulotomy.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
purposeTo investigate the effects of capsulotomy shape on the visual acuity and visual quality after neodymium: yttrium aluminum garnet laser capsulotomy.
methodsIn this study, a total of 42 eyes from 35 patients with posterior capsule opacification were divided into the circular and cruciate groups. The corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), objective scatter index (OSI), modulation transfer function cutoff (MTF cutoff), Strehl ratio, and Optical Quality Analysis System values at contrasts of 100%, 20%, and 9% (OV-100, OV-20, and OV-9) were measured at precapsulotomy and 1 week and 1 month postcapsulotomy. The pseudophakic dysphotopsia questionnaire (PDQ) was used to evaluate the subjects' satisfaction with treatment.
resultsOSI values were significantly higher in the cruciate group than in the circular group at 1 week and 1 month after capsulotomy (
conclusionsCircular-shaped capsulotomy can induce less intraocular light scattering and increase patient satisfaction.
