'Stop-and-Slide' technique for trocar insertion during lens-sparing vitrectomy for retinopathy of prematurity.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. 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
The modern-day trocar cannula systems meant for adult eyes pose a challenge in infant's eyes with stage 4 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) undergoing lens-sparing vitrectomy. This is primarily owing to the length of the trocar, globular lens, smaller axial length, and anteriorly displaced retina. We describe an inexpensive modification of the technique of trocar insertion in such cases wherein the trocar is inserted partially till the cannula impinges the sclera and thereon, the cannula slides over the trocar into the vitreous cavity. This obviates the need for complete insertion of the trocar into the vitreous cavity and hence limits the chances of inadvertent injury to the crystalline lens or the anteriorly lifted retina. We have experience in using this technique in 52 eyes of 44 infants over the past 2 years with no episode of iatrogenic lens touch or retinal break during trocar insertion.
