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
Optical opacity reduces quality of biometry images, making it potentially difficult to find the correct location for irradiation during femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). After experiencing a case of posterior capsule (PC) rupture because of optical opacity, we started lens thickness (LT) inspection, which indicates comparison of between intra- and pre-operatively measured LT. We retrospectively investigated the effectiveness of the LT inspection. One observer reviewed all FLACS treatment summaries for 3 years by CATALYS in the Jikei University Hospital, Tokyo. Based on the lines defining the PC on intraoperative OCT images, all cases were classified into three groups: undescribed, appropriate and inappropriate PC. Among the 1070 cases, 1047 cases had appropriate PC. In 19 cases, the PC line was undescribed because of dense cataract. Among 474 cases with no inspection, 4 cases had an inappropriate PC. Whereas, in 596 cases with the LT inspection, there was no case of an inappropriate PC. LT inspection significantly reduced the cases with inappropriate PC. The safety margins normally work to prevent severe complications. However, rare outlier cases had a high risk of severe complications. We propose LT inspection could be the most practical and convenient way for safety surgery.
