The Outcome of Manual Small Incision Cataract Surgery and Anterior Vitrectomy for Persistent Fetal Vasculature in an 18-Year-Old Woman: A One-Year Follow-Up.

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 surgical management of persistent fetal vasculature (PFV) is challenging and the visual outcome can be compromised by coexisting ocular pathologies and amblyopia. It can be considered for relief of retinal traction and improved cosmetic appeal when a squint or a posterior capsular cataract is present. In the case presented in this report, the intermittent exotropia improved from 45 to 30 degrees in one year, which suggests an improvement in binocular single vision. There was also a resolution of the leukocoria and retinal traction. The patient underwent the following examinations: visual activity, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, intraocular pressure (Goldmann), fundus photography (OCT TOPCON, 3D OCT-1 Maestro, Topcon, Tokyo, Japan), B-scan Doppler ultrasonography (Mindray DC-N3, Mindray, Shenzhen, China), Keratometry (Topcon KR 800, Topcon, Tokyo, Japan), and axial length (Sonomed 300AP+A Scan/Pachymeter, Sonomed Escalon, Lake Success, NY). Intraocular lens (IOL) power was calculated with the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff (SRK) II formula. During surgery, a rigid polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) IOL was inserted into the sulcus after excision of the lesion and anterior vitrectomy. The first day's postoperative evaluation included visual acuity, corneal transparency, depth of anterior chamber, pupil size, shape, pupillary reaction to light, and position of the IOL. Intraocular pressure was normal within the follow-up period. Fundus photography and B-scan examinations were performed at one month and one year.
