The potential influence of the ligament of Wieger on the crystalline lens shape.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
This research uses mathematical modelling to evaluate the influence of the ligament of Wieger on the crystalline lens shape at rest, and during accommodation. An axisymmetric model of the anterior segment, including the ligament of Wieger, was created using the finite element method. Different conditions including variations of stiffness and positions of the ligament, with and without the ligament, were tested to see how they affected lens curvature and optical power. Adding the ligament of Wieger to the simulation had a noticeable impact on the optical power of the lens, particularly on the posterior surface power and total power. Ligament stiffness and width significant influenced the accommodative range of the eye by - 0.95D and - 2.39D for ligaments with the same and 3× the stiffness of the capsular bag, respectively. Ligament width and inner diameter had negligible effects on lens thickness but did have significant effects on posterior surface power and accommodation. In this simulation, we found that the ligament of Wieger can significantly affect the lens shape, both at rest and during accommodation, and may need to be considered in lens models.
