Long-term results of efficacy and safety of lens vault following implantation of posterior chamber implantable collamer lens.

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
purposeTo describe and compare the efficacy and safety profile of posterior chamber implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation in eyes with low-vault and non-low-vault over a 5-year follow-up period.
settingHospital de Braga, Braga, Portugal.
designRetrospective, comparative, cohort study.
methods2 groups were created based on the first postoperative vault measurement evaluation (1 month): group 1 (<250 μm) and group 2 (≥250 μm). Patients with previous ocular surgery or pathologies that would affect visual outcomes were excluded. The parameters evaluated were uncorrected and corrected visual acuity, subjective refraction, efficacy and safety index, predictability, endothelial cell density, central vault, and postoperative complications. 107 eyes from 67 patients in group 1 and 289 eyes from 164 patients in group 2 were evaluated.
resultsAt 5 years, the safety and efficacy index was similar ( P = .224 and P = .390, respectively). Respectively, 80 (76.2%) and 201 (70.5%) eyes were within ±0.50 diopter of targeted refraction. There was a significant reduction in vault measurements in both groups ( P = .034 and P < .001, respectively). No significant differences between groups in endothelial cell density loss were noted ( P = .096). The low-vault group presented a higher incidence of crystalline lens opacities/cataracts (5.6% vs 1.7%), although only 1 patient in group 2 was submitted to cataract surgery.
conclusionsICL implantation for surgical correction of myopia yielded stable visual results with excellent safety and efficacy indexes in patients with low vault.
