Cystoid macular oedema after flanged intraocular lens scleral fixation using the Yamane technique: a multicentre cohort study.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
This retrospective observational multicentre cohort study compared the rate of postoperative cystoid macular oedema (CME) between two intraocular lens (IOL) scleral fixation (SFIOL) techniques: a flanged IOL fixation technique (Yamane technique) and a suture IOL transscleral fixation technique (conventional technique). The study included 207 eyes with postoperative CME that had undergone SFIOL and were observed for > 12 weeks between January 2019 and January 2021. The primary endpoint was a comparison of the rate of postoperative CME at 3 months between groups. Secondary endpoints were a comparison of postoperative best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at 3 months between groups and an analysis of characteristics associated with postoperative CME in the Yamane technique group. The Yamane technique group developed postoperative CME in 13.0% of eyes at 3 months, compared with 1.9% in the conventional technique group (odds ratio: 7.99, P = 0.045). Postoperative BCVA was consistently significantly higher in the Yamane technique group. Although many retinal surgeons have performed the Yamane technique because of its convenience for SFIOL, our findings suggest that the Yamane technique carries an increased risk of postoperative CME compared with the conventional suture method. Therefore, careful management of postoperative CME is needed after SFIOL.
