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

A woman in her 50s presented with suspected open globe injury (OGI) of the right eye after being hit with a high velocity piece of plastic. Visual acuity at the time of presentation was counting fingers in the affected eye. Slit lamp examination revealed a full thickness laceration of the cornea and a traumatic cataract. Primary corneal repair was performed and the patient was left aphakic after cataract removal. Secondary intraocular lens placement was deferred for 2 years, after which time a scleral-fixated intraocular lens was implanted using the Yamane technique. Postoperative visual acuity of 20/50 was achieved, with the vision limited by persistent diabetic macular oedema. Thus, this case of successful implantation of a secondary lens using the Yamane technique in a patient with prior corneal laceration and traumatic cataract highlights that the Yamane technique can result in visual improvement in patients with prior OGI.
