Supporting IOL'S in a Deficient Capsular Environment: The Tale of No "Tails".
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the efficacy and safety of the following three distinct surgical procedures for secondary IOL implantation without capsular support: Iris-claw lens, flanged transscleral fixated IOLs (Yamane technique), and sutureless transscleral hook IOL fixation (Carlevale IOL). MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this retrospective comparative study, three different sutureless IOL implantation techniques were compared in patients without any capsular support. Visual acuity and outcomes were analyzed in 24 eyes of 23 patients (14 male and 9 female). Study included 13 iris-claw lenses (Artisan Ophtec), 6 flanged transscleral fixated IOLs (Yamane technique using a MA60MA Alcon Inc IOL), and 5 transscleral Carlevale IOLS (Carlevale IOL, Soleko, Italy).
resultslogMAR mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.49 ± 0.19 to 0.19 ± 0.10 at three months after surgery (
conclusionsAll three surgical procedures can be considered adequate to correct aphakia in patients without capsular support with significant improvement in visual acuity and low complication.
