Case Report: Implantable Collamer Lens for Keratoconus with Splinter Cataract.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 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
Background: Implantable collamer lens (ICL) could be an effective and safe treatment option for patient with keratoconus. The presence of cataract is considered a relative contraindication to the use of ICL. In this case report, we describe the outcomes of ICL implantation in an eye with keratoconus and splinter cortical cataract sparing the visual axis. Case Report: Thirty-six-year-old female patient diagnosed with keratoconus was followed in the outpatient department and sought to be independent of glasses in the right eye. Upon examination she was found to have bilateral splinter cortical cataract not involving the visual axis. She had the best spectacle corrected visual acuity of 20/30; she underwent uneventful implantation of ICL in the right eye with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 post-operatively with no progression of the cataract during the follow-up period. Conclusion: The patient achieved a stable uncorrected visual acuity of 20/30 with no cataract progression after 18 months. Splinter cataract remains stable over time, thus it should not be considered as a contraindication for the implantation of ICL in patients with keratoconus.
