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 a flapless, single-pass, snare-assisted technique for four-point scleral refixation of dislocated Akreos Adapt intraocular lenses (IOLs) using an 8 - 0 polypropylene suture in a closed-loop configuration.
methodsAn 8 - 0 polypropylene suture was passed through the four fenestrated haptics of the IOL using a non-sliding snare constructed from a 30-gauge thin-walled needle mounted on a 1 mL syringe. The extraocular portions of the suture were routed within the intrascleral plane between two fixation points on the same side (nasal or temporal), which are 2 mm away from the limbus, with a distance of 7 mm between the two fixation points, without conjunctival dissection or scleral flap creation. The external suture knot was buried within the scleral stroma.
resultsThis retrospective case series included five eyes with Akreos Adapt IOLs that were completely dislocated into the vitreous cavity. All lenses were successfully fixated without intraoperative complications. At a mean follow-up of 8.4 months, all IOLs remained well-centered and stable. Best-corrected visual acuity improved in all cases. The preoperative and postoperative spherical equivalent values ranged from - 5.00 D to 11.00 D preoperatively, and from - 2.50 D to -0.50 D postoperatively. No hypotony, suture erosion, knot exposure, or IOL redislocation were observed.
conclusionThis technique offers a minimally invasive and reproducible method for four-point scleral fixation of dislocated Akreos Adapt IOLs, eliminating the need for conjunctival or scleral dissection and requiring no specialized instrumentation.
