Bilateral posterior capsule rupture and anterior vitreous prolapse from vigorous eye rubbing.

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
purposeWe present the case of a 71-year-old male who developed decreased visual acuity eleven years after uncomplicated bilateral cataract extraction and in-the-bag IOL implantation following recent bouts of vigorous eye rubbing. OBSERVATIONS: On examination, the posterior capsules were ruptured centrally in both eyes, and there was anterior vitreous prolapse bilaterally. While both IOLs remained in the visual axis, there was mild bilateral decentration and resultant decreased vision. CONCLUSION AND IMPORTANCE: To the authors' knowledge, this is the first reported case of bilateral simultaneous posterior capsule rupture with anterior vitreous prolapse due to eye rubbing. Contrasting to previous case reports, this scenario demonstrates that severe eye rubbing can have variable severity and complications. Frequent and vigorous eye rubbing can be a precipitating cause of late postoperative posterior capsule rupture and should be avoided in pseudophakic patients, especially those with older IOL models.
