The artificial iris - Analysis of various implantation techniques after ocular trauma.

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
purposeThe aim of this study is to analyze the outcome of various techniques for a custom-made iris prosthesis implantation as part of reconstructive anterior segment surgery following traumatic aniridia.
methodsThis retrospective interventional study was done for 6 eyes that received an artificial iris as secondary reconstructive measure for photophobia and unsatisfactory vision following initial globe repair. Different implantation techniques were employed. These included simple sulcus implantation, implantation of a composite (iris prosthesis with attached intraocular lens) implant, and combinations with phacoemulsification, vitrectomy, and penetrating keratoplasty.
resultsIn all cases, the artificial iris was implanted successfully. In the follow-up period (1-48 months), postoperative complications included rhegmatogenous retinal detachment, prolonged intraocular inflammation, and corneal transplant decompensation due to graft rejection. There was no case of secondary glaucoma. Complications could be managed successfully. All patients showed improved best-corrected visual acuity and were satisfied with functional and cosmetic results.
conclusionThis case series highlights the different implantation techniques for reconstruction of the anterior segment after ocular trauma. The versatility of the custom-made iris implant accounts for a wide range of applications and the foldable material reduces the need for large incisions in the already traumatized eye.
