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 29-year-old man presented with longstanding, stable, unilateral vision loss in the setting of a remote paintball injury. His examination was notable for a sensory exotropia as well as multiple foci of posterior synechiae, segments of white lenticular material and islands of lenticular cells within a grossly intact capsule, and severe zonular compromise in the affected eye. The majority of the nuclear lens material was absent. The patient was diagnosed with post-traumatic lens absorption and underwent synechialysis, capsulotomy, excision of remnant lenticular material, and placement of a sulcus lens, with significant improvement in visual acuity and ocular alignment following surgery. Our report uniquely highlights identification of a Soemmering's ring in an absorbed lens in the presence of an intact anterior and posterior capsule as well as successful refractive and sensorimotor outcomes following surgical repair despite delay in treatment of many years.
