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
purposeIn this study, we aimed to report on the early results of intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation using a hook-shaped haptic IOL (hsh-IOL). PATIENTS AND
methodsWe enrolled 27 consecutive eyes of 27 patients (mean age, 74±11.4 years) who underwent intrascleral IOL fixation with an hsh-IOL and were followed-up for 3 months postoperatively. The reasons for surgery included insufficient capsular support, including IOL dislocation, aphakia, or dislocated crystalline lens. The haptic of the hsh-IOL was externalized from the eye using forceps, and the hook was buried in the scleral tunnel. We investigated the preoperative and 3-month postoperative corrected visual acuity (VA), intraocular pressure (IOP), corneal endothelial cell density, refractive prediction error, postoperative intraocular astigmatism, surgically induced astigmatism, and intraoperative and postoperative complications.
resultsThe mean postoperative corrected VA (logMAR, 0.083±0.18) was significantly better than the mean preoperative value (0.42±0.60, p=0.0007). The 3-month postoperative mean absolute prediction error was 1.00±0.96 D. The mean IOL-induced astigmatism was 0.95±0.70 D. Further, the mean postoperative corneal endothelial cell count (2036±644 cells/mm
conclusionIntrascleral IOL fixation using hsh-IOL is an effective option for eyes with insufficient capsular support.
