A Case of Lens and Posterior Capsule Injury in Chandelier-Assisted Scleral Buckling for Rhegmatogenous Retinal Detachment.

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: Rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) presents as a common ophthalmological emergency that impacts vision and may lead to blindness in the involved eye. Recently, chandelier-assisted scleral buckling (SB) is considered as one of procedures for the management of RRD. Herein, we present a case of acute cataract progression caused by a chandelier light during chandelier-assisted SB for RRD. Case Presentation: A 69-year-old male patient presented with right eye RRD. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was reduced to 20/40 in the right eye, and a retinal tear was observed at the upper temporal side with macula-off retinal detachment. The retinal tear was on the periphery, and the crystalline lens opacity was mild; therefore, the patient was treated with SB with a chandelier. Intraoperatively, posterior lens opacity was gradually observed, but it did not affect surgery. Thus, the surgery was completed as planned and retinal reattachment was confirmed. The day after surgery, the cataract had progressed, with a significantly decreased right BCVA of 20/400 in the right eye; therefore, cataract surgery was performed 2 months after the initial surgery. Because the posterior capsule had already ruptured, we performed lens extraction and anterior vitrectomy and fixed the intraocular lens with an optic capture. Postoperatively, the patient's BCVA had recovered to 20/40 in the right eye. Conclusion: SB with a chandelier is an effective treatment for visibility and educational purposes; however, several points of caution are raised. Proper care should be taken while handling the illumination in the SB.
