Effects of capsulorhexis size and position on post-surgical IOL alignment.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
In cataract surgery, post-surgical stability of the intraocular lens plays a major role. This study aims to explore how the size and decentration of the capsulorhexis affect intraocular lens decentration and tilt by using numerical methods. Finite element models included zonules, ciliary body, capsular bag, and an IOL with two open-loop haptics were built. Capsulorhexes were modeled with a 4.5- and 5.5-mm diameter. The capsulorhexis was shifted 0.5-1 mm in two in-plane directions normal to the optical axis. Three IOLs with different powers (5 D, 29 D, and 34 D) were compared. The results were also compared with currently published numerical and clinical studies. With different capsulorhexes sizes and locations, the decentration varied from 0.43 to 8.3 μm, and the tilt varied 0.02° - 0.09°. The 34 D lens had the largest tilt and decentration when capsulorhexis changed sizes or decentered. The simulation showed that capsulorhexis size and decentration have only a minor effect on IOL decentration or tilt that will in most cases not be noticeable to the patient.
