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 report the incidence, reasons, and outcomes for Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) exchanges at a high-volume center in the United States. Patients and Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 961 eyes of 484 patients who underwent ICL surgery in a commercial setting at Parkhurst NuVision from 04/06/2022 to 10/21/2024. Results: 11 eyes of 8 patients out of the 961 commercial cases (1.1%) underwent ICL exchange at our institution due to sizing issues. Of these, only 5 cases (0.5%) were exchanged due to initial vault concerns with 6 cases (0.6%) exchanged due to rotated toric ICLs. Upon repeat review of these cases, we would have chosen a different size in 3 of them. Conclusion: ICL implantation is remarkably safe, with an incredibly low exchange rate due to inappropriate sizing. The majority of these cases also involved clinically safe vault and the exchange only occurred due to rotation of a toric ICL.
