Management and challenges of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in patients with cataracts secondary to reverse-implanted posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundPosterior chamber phakic intraocular lens are widely recognized as an effective treatment for refractive errors, yet they are not without risks. One notable complication that can emerge years after reverse implantation is cataract formation. In these intricate scenarios, femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery presents itself as a remarkably precise and safer approach for the extraction of cataracts, especially when the ICL is in a reverse position. CASE PRESENTATION: This report details the extraordinary case of a 33-year-old woman who, ten years after undergoing posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens implantation, experienced a decline in visual acuity in her left eye. She chose to undergo femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery in conjunction with posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens removal to address an anterior subcapsular cataract. The procedure encountered unique challenges, including biometric inaccuracies caused by the pre-existing posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens and difficulties in laser targeting. Manual adjustments were necessitated during the laser application. A trifocal intraocular lens was successfully inserted. At her three-month follow-up, the patient exhibited a remarkable improvement, achieving an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/20 in the treated eye. She expressed high satisfaction with the outcome, acknowledging only minor occurrences of halo effects.
conclusionsThis report confirms the feasibility of FLACS in treating cataracts in patients with reversely implanted posterior chamber phakic intraocular lens. Compared to typical cataract cases, the surgical procedure did not present significant additional challenges. However, meticulous preoperative measurements, laser scanning, and intraoperative alignment remain essential. With thorough preoperative preparation and precise posterior intraocular lens power calculation, the surgical outcomes can fully meet.
