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

introductionThis study evaluated the clinical outcomes of simultaneous implantable collamer lens (ICL) removal and phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation in a multicenter study.

methodsWe retrospectively investigated 83 eyes of 72 patients requiring ICL extraction and cataract surgery at five institutions. Preoperatively and 3 months postoperatively, we determined visual acuity (logMAR), spherical equivalent refraction, and endothelial cell density (ECD), in addition to the preoperative backgrounds and the postoperative complications.

resultsThe patients' age at the time of cataract surgery was 49.8 ± 6.8 years, and the axial length was 28.49 ± 1.97 mm. The most prevalent type of cataract was anterior subcapsular cataract, followed by nuclear and cortical cataract. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuities significantly improved to 0.09 ± 0.30 and - 0.12 ± 0.12 logMAR, respectively (p < 0.001). Sixty-three (76%) and 78 (94%) eyes were within ± 0.5 D and 1.0 D, respectively, of the targeted correction. The mean percentage of ECD loss was 1.3 ± 11.3%. No vision-threatening complications were observed in any case.

conclusionsOur multicenter study showed that simultaneous ICL removal and phacoemulsification with IOL implantation is a safe, effective, and predictable procedure, with no significant complications, making it a feasible option for ICL-implanted eyes developing cataracts.
