[Pupil reconstruction with an artificial iris].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2022. 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
backgroundPatients with iris defects suffer from severe visual impairment, especially increased glare sensitivity, and cosmetic disturbances. This can constitute a great psychological strain for patients. In the recent past the treatment consisted of iris print contact lenses, sunglasses and simple iris prostheses. The indications for surgical treatment are colobomas of the iris, aniridia, traumatic iris defects and persistent mydriasis. The aim of this review article is to investigate the surgical approaches, complications, functional and aesthetic outcome after implantation of an individual artificial iris prosthesis made from silicone.
objectiveAnalysis of the literature on the topic of surgical iris reconstruction with an artificial iris in combination with the own experience in more than 120 patients treated by the author in the last 10 years. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe custom-made flexible silicone iris prosthesis ArtificialIris (HumanOptics, Erlangen, Germany) assessed in this review is an innovative and versatile option for surgical treatment of iris defects. Patients were examined before and after iris reconstruction with respect to feasibility, complications and outcome.
resultsChange of best corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, pupillary opening, glare, contrast sensitivity, endothelial cell count, anterior chamber depth, anterior chamber angle and patient satisfaction were assessed. Furthermore, complications and color match to the residual and fellow iris were assessed.
conclusionThe implantation of an artificial iris is an effective option for the treatment of extensive traumatic iris defects and leads to an individual aesthetically appealing and good functional outcome as well as high patient satisfaction; however, this is an intervention that should not be underestimated because of a flat learning curve and various complications that can occur.
