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
aimTo measure the optimal anterior chamber pressure (ACP) for safe phacoemulsification using a new tube chamber system with internal pressure measurement function in the porcine eye.
methodsThe 20-gauge and 21-gauge straight tips with yellow and orange sleeves, respectively, were covered by a test chamber combined with a pressure sensor for measuring ACP. This was measured for 20s from 10s after starting aspiration in the linear mode using vacuum levels of 200 and 150 mm Hg with a 20-gauge tip, and 300 and 250 mm Hg with a 21-gauge tip. Using a porcine eye, a pressure sensor fixed with a 0.9 mm corneal incision measured ACP. For the posterior capsule contact assay, porcine eyes were treated as described above, and the ultrasonic needle tip was held at the height of the iris and aspirated for 30s in linear mode at a vacuum of 200 and 150 mm Hg for the 20-gauge tip, and 300 and 250 mm Hg for the 21-gauge tip. The bottle height at which the posterior capsule accidentally contacted the ultrasonic tip was recorded, and the estimated ACP was calculated.
resultsThe internal pressure of the new tube chamber system and ACP from the porcine eye closely matched proportional changes at vacuum levels of 200 and 150 mm Hg with 20-gauge tips. Similarly, proportional changes at vacuum levels of 300 and 250 mm Hg with the 21-gauge tip were nearly equal. The bottle height at which the posterior capsule contacted with the tip and estimated ACP were 57.5±12.6 cm (20.2±7.9 mm Hg) at 200 mm Hg with a 20-gauge tip, 35.0±10.0 cm (16.6±6.3 mm Hg) at 150 mm Hg with a 20-gauge tip, 47.5±12.6 cm (18.7±8.7 mm Hg) at 300 mm Hg with a 21-gauge tip, and 32.5±5.0 cm (15.7±3.5 mm Hg) at 250 mm Hg with a 21-gauge tip.
conclusionA comprehensive understanding of this chamber system's characteristics and usage can resolve anterior chamber instability caused by changing preoperative settings on the phaco machine.
