Surgical management of non-syndromic ectopia lentis.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
aimTo compare whether aphakic contact lenses or secondary iris-claw intraocular lenses are superior in the refractive management post-pars plana vitreolensectomy in a pedigree with an
methodsEight affected individuals had pars plana vitreolensectomy for bilateral ectopia lentis (EL). Twelve eyes of 6 patients had secondary iris-claw intraocular lenses inserted and 4 eyes of 2 patients were managed with contact lenses. Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) was treated when necessary. Pre- and post-operative assessment included visual acuity, endothelial cell count and dilated fundal examination.
resultsMacula-on RRD was present in all individuals >18y, 64% (7/11 eyes) presenting post-vitreolensectomy with 57% having bilateral non-synchronous RRD. Surgical aphakia was managed with iris-fixated intraocular lenses (IOL group,
conclusionIn this cohort, refractive management with iris-claw IOLs provided superior outcomes to contact lenses and the authors recommend this as the optimal refractive correction in EL patients.
