The Outcome of Artisan Intraocular Lens Implantation in Children: A Narrative Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Aphakia is a condition in which the eye's crystalline lens is not in its proper position because of a perforating injury, surgical removal, dislocation of the lens, or congenital anomaly. The management of aphakia can be either conservative or surgical. Various surgical techniques could be used, including retro pupillary-fixated iris-claw intraocular lenses (IOLs) and anterior-fixated iris-claw IOLs. One of the challenges faced by ophthalmologists is the optical rehabilitation of pediatric aphakic patients because a child's eye is still growing, resulting in fundamental variations in their refractive elements, and the immature visual system faces the risks of amblyopia development in the case of defocus or inequality of visual input between both eyes. There is also the risk of the incidence of side effects that can be accepted in adults but not in children. Finally, accurate postoperative supervision and optical rehabilitation in pediatrics will be more complex than that in adults. This review showed that it is possible to place, replace, and exchange the Artisan IOL with minor surgical trauma. Hence, this procedure can be an acceptable therapeutic method for correcting the developmental refractive changes of the growing aphakic eye. However, some worries are still caused by probable long-term side effects, including endothelial cell loss. Finally, a significant attempt at visual rehabilitation is to treat pediatric aphakia with Artisan IOL.
