Evaluation of ciliary body cysts in candidates for phakic lens implantation.

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
purposePhakic lens implantation in the ciliary sulcus of the eye can be complicated by coincident ciliary body cysts (CBC). We developed an ultrasound imaging and mapping protocol for these cysts.
methodsThis is a retrospective case series of all patients who underwent ICL workup at a single institution from April 2015 to October 2019. A standardized ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) imaging protocol was developed to screen for CBCs in either the ciliary body or sulcus. The locations and dimensions of all CBCs were graphically represented.
resultsThe prevalence of CBCs in 158 patients undergoing ICL workup was 34.8%. Among the 159 CBCs detected in 55 patients, 83 were in the sulcus (52%) and 76 were restricted to the ciliary body (48%). ICLs were implanted in 40 eyes with CBCs and 3 eyes with CBCs located within the sulcus horizontally required ICL repositioning due to ICL rotation or iris chafing.
conclusionCBCs were incidentally found in 34.8% of patients undergoing ICL workup. ICL implantation was complicated in 3 of the eyes with CBCs in the horizontal sulcus. Although CBCs are not an absolute contraindication for ICL surgery, we recommend preoperative UBM screening of the ciliary sulcus.
