Autologous blood-assisted scleral fixation of intraocular lens.
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 1 paper.
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
In this technique, the lamellar scleral tunnel is fashioned to cover IOL haptics and autologous blood is used to close the conjunctiva, which alleviates the need for fibrin glue. The cornea is marked at four and 10'O clock meridian, and 2 mm incision is made on the conjunctiva. A lamellar scleral tunnel is fashioned 2 mm superior on one side and 2 mm inferior on the other side of this mark. The IOL is inserted into the anterior chamber and the haptics are exteriorized using bent 26-gauge hypodermic needle, flanged, and buried in the tunnel. A visible conjunctival blood vessel is punctured, allowing the blood to pool underneath the conjunctiva. The conjunctiva is approximated with the help of blood coagulum and allowed to remain dry for 3 min. Lamellar scleral tunnels give adequate cover to haptics, and autologous blood can be used to glue the conjunctival flaps instead of fibrin glue.
