Microspherophakia with an atypical temporal iris coloboma in a young female.

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
Microspherophakia is a rare congenital lens abnormality characterised by increased anterior-posterior thickness and reduced equatorial diameter, giving the lens a spherical shape. Iris coloboma, typically involving the inferonasal iris, results from incomplete fetal fissure closure. To our knowledge, this is the first reported case of microspherophakia with bilateral atypical (temporal) iris coloboma. An early adolescent patient underwent a syndromic evaluation for multiple congenital anomalies. Ophthalmological examination revealed bilateral temporal notches of the pupillary rim with intact collarettes, suggesting coloboma and strongly pigmented lens zonules with phacodonesis. Additional findings included inguinal hernia, submucosal cleft palate, mitral valve prolapse, microcephaly and high myopia. Management focused on glasses and periodic intraocular pressure monitoring due to preserved visual acuity. This case underscores the variable presentation of probable connective tissue disorders, with atypical ocular features like microspherophakia, temporal iris coloboma and lens subluxation.
