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
Introduction: To report a case of accidental intralenticular Ozurdex injection in an eye with thicker lens. During the follow-up period of 15 months, the therapeutic effect of intralenticular Ozurdex was maintained. Case description: Ozurdex was accidently injected into the lens of an eye with uveitis, and the lens thickness was measured to be 5.70 mm. The uveitis was under good control, and no significant development of cataract was observed until 7 months after the intralenticular Ozurdex injection. Then due to the outbreak of COVID-19, follow-up was suspended. Fifteen months after the injection, the patient returned to the doctor. At this time, significant cataract development was observed, whereas uveitis was still under good control. Accordingly, cataract surgery and Ozurdex extraction were performed. Two months after surgery, a mild recurrence of uveitis occurred. Conclusions: A thicker lens might be an important risk factor for accidental intralenticular Ozurdex injections. However, after intralenticular Ozurdex injection, the development of cataract was slow, and Ozurdex could still have a therapeutic effect on uveitis in this case. Thus, immediate surgery might be unnecessary for certain accidental intralenticular Ozurdex injection cases, and a follow-up strategy could be chosen to maintain the effect of Ozurdex.
