1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Inadvertent neodymium: yttrium-aluminum-garnet (Nd:YAG) capsulotomies are rare, with only one incident reported in the literature prior to the present case. We discuss the management of a phakic patient with a dense posterior subcapsular cataract who underwent yttrium-aluminum-garnet (YAG) capsulotomy for presumed posterior capsular opacification. Operative course involved cataract surgery with anterior vitrectomy for prolapsed lens fragments due to the disrupted posterior capsule. This patient experienced excellent visual outcomes postoperatively, with ultimate best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20. This case underscores the importance of thorough preoperative time out, including confirmation of patient's understanding of the intended procedure.
