Congenital ciliary body cysts causing lens abnormalities and secondary angle closure glaucoma in a child.

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
Purpose: To report a case of congenital ciliary body cysts causing microspherophakia, ectopia lentis, and secondary angle closure glaucoma in an infant. Observations: A 16-month-old male was found to have bilateral ciliary body cysts associated with zonular laxity or absence causing microspherophakia and ectopia lentis as demonstrated on multimodal imaging. Additionally, the patient had secondary angle closure glaucoma which was likely multi-factorial related to both lens abnormalities and anterior displacement of the iris from the cysts themselves. The patient underwent lensectomy and cyst removal which resulted in intraocular pressure stabilization and visual rehabilitation. Conclusions and Importance: Congenital ciliary body cysts are a rare cause of lens abnormalities and secondary angle closure glaucoma in children. Information regarding genetic underpinnings or systemic associations is limited.
