1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

We report the case of a 60-year-old woman with a congenital anterior polar cataract who presented with a lens fragment within the anterior chamber of her left eye, without a medical history of surgery or trauma. Uneventful phacoemulsification with simultaneous removal of the lens fragment followed. Postoperatively, the patient's visual acuity improved from a perception of light to 20/100. Histological examination of the lens fragment revealed persistent fetal vasculature, as well as fibrous metaplasia and extensive collagenesis. To our knowledge, this is the first report of spontaneous rupture of both the anterior capsule and the lens.
