Severe intraocular lens tilt after the Yamane technique.
Article in Journal of cataract and refractive surgery, 2025. 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
purposeTo evaluate CT Lucia 602 intraocular lenses implanted in cases lacking capsular support and explanted because of decentration/dislocation with subsequent pathological analysis. The main objectives were to (1) document the status of haptics and (2) verify the presence of the rotisserie effect.
settingJohn A. Moran Eye Center, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.
designCase series with clinicopathological correlation.
methods13 explanted CT Lucia 602 lenses were included: 12 implanted by the Yamane technique and 1 that was iris-fixated. 4 lenses were explanted between October 2020 and February 2022. 9 lenses, explanted between November 2022 and February 2024, also exhibited severe optic tilt, leading to explantation. A chart review was performed to obtain clinical information from each case. Explanted lenses underwent gross and microscopic examination for haptic status and rotation, in the dry state (room temperature) and after hydration (body temperature).
resultsTime between implantation and explantation was longer for lenses explanted before November 2022 (without severe tilt). Among the 26 haptics evaluated, 15 were deformed, 6 were broken, 2 were detached, and 3 were unremarkable. 4 haptics of Yamane lenses explanted between November 2022 and February 2024 showed free rotation within the optic insertion, after hydration at body temperature.
conclusionsAnecdotal reports of the rotisserie effect of CT Lucia 602 lenses implanted by the Yamane technique appeared mostly during the second half of 2022 and suggested that affected lenses were from specific batches, which seems to be consistent with the findings of this study.
