Efficacy of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Capsulotomy: Experimental Evaluation Using the Zonular Dehiscence Model.

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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate experimentally the efficacy of femtosecond laser (FL)-assisted capsulotomy using an eye model with different degrees of zonular dehiscence (ZD). Methods: An eye model with ZD was created by removing the total iris and including the planned range of the ZD in porcine and human cadaver eyes. FL-assisted capsulotomies (laser group) and manual capsulotomies (manual group) were created for the eye model with 0, 45, 135, 180, and 270 degrees of ZD. The continuity, mean diameter, ellipticity, and decentration of the capsulotomy were evaluated using the captured images. The same evaluation of FL-assisted capsulotomies was done for five human cadaver eyes with 180 degrees of ZD. Results: In the laser group, no differences were seen in the mean diameter, ellipticity, and decentration, although the manual group resulted in significantly larger, ovalized, and decentered capsulotomies with different degrees of ZD ( Conclusions: In this experimental study, FL-assisted capsulotomy showed favorable results in eyes with between 0 and 180 degrees of ZD compared to conventional manual capsulotomy. Translational Relevance: Our experimental model can simulate the capsulotomy in cases with ZD, the results are useful when determining the indication for FL-assisted capsulotomies.
