Rapidly Developing Cataract in Young Adult Patients: Always a Matter for Further Evaluation.
Article in Cureus, 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
A cataract in the young age group is uncommon and it is usually secondary to eye trauma, intraocular inflammation, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, and hypoparathyroidism. We report a case of a rapidly developing cataract over two years in a 21-year-old female with extensive intracranial calcification due to primary hypoparathyroidism. Chronic hypocalcemia due to underlying hypoparathyroidism results in cataract. Extensive bilateral intracranial calcification involving basal ganglia and white matter has been rarely reported in the literature. It occurs due to the chronic deposition of calcium-phosphorus complexes. We would like to highlight that cataract in young patients is always a matter for further evaluation. Clinicians and ophthalmologists should be aware of hypoparathyroidism as a cause of bilateral cataracts. Early diagnosis of primary hypoparathyroidism can save patients from many complications.
