1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To present a case of lens dislocation in which an Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) scleral fixated (Carlevale) intraocular lens (IOL) was inserted after performing pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and lens fragmentation. Case report: A 68-year-old woman presented to our department with loss of vision in her right eye after a blunt trauma in the right eye. After clinical examination the patient was aphakic with a dropped nucleus in the vitreous cavity. Surgical plan involved PPV with lens fragmentation and insertion of an IOL. Due to patient circumstances, she requested spectacle independence as far as possible. In order to support her needs a custom made Carlevale EDOF scleral fixated IOL (FIL SSF EVOLVE) was successfully implanted in her right eye with excellent post operative results. Excellent distant visual acuity as well as good intermediate and near vision was achieved 3 months post-operative in our patient. Conclusion: According to previous reports as well as from our own previous experience, achieving efficient scleral fixation using the Carlevale FIL SSF IOL seems like a promising option in cases of aphakia or zonular dehiscence. EDOF lens technology is widely used in routine cataract surgery for demanding patients who require a wider range of vision without glasses. Combining these two technologies lead to a lens design (Carlevale FIL SSF EVOLVE) that we used in this case and enabled us to help our patient and improve her quality of life.
