Bilateral zonular dehiscence during cataract surgery in a patient with systemic sclerosis.

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: Systemic sclerosis, also known as scleroderma, is a rare and chronic autoimmune connective disorder that affects most organs. While clinical findings of scleroderma patients in the context of the eye have been described to include lid fibrosis and glaucoma, almost nothing has been reported regarding ophthalmologic surgical complications in scleroderma patients. Observations: Here, we report bilateral zonular dehiscence and iris prolapse during two independent cataract extractions performed by separate experienced anterior segment surgeons in a patient with known systemic sclerosis. The patient did not have any other known risk factors for these complications to occur. Conclusions and Importance: In our patient, bilateral zonular dehiscence raised the possibility of poor connective tissue support secondary to scleroderma. We recommend that clinicians are aware of potential complications in performing anterior segment surgery in patients with known or suspected scleroderma.
