MYX technique: A modified adaptation of Yamane and extraocular needle-guided haptic insertion techniques for scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2021. 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
Scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation in an important tool in the armamentarium of an ophthalmologist for managing aphakia. Various techniques have been described in the literature with variable learning curves. Herein, we describe an easy, fast, reproducible technique; the "MYX" technique, which utilizes the advantages of both the Yamane and the X-NIT technique, where the handshaking of the prolene haptic of a 3-piece PMMA IOL into the lumen of a 26-gauge needle is done externally (like in X-NIT technique), and the exteriorized haptic is cauterized to form a flange transconjunctivally, thereby avoiding the scleral pocket tucking (like Yamane technique), to achieve excellent surgical outcomes.
