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

purposeTo identify risk factors for reverse pupillary block (RPB) by retrospectively analyzing anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) images after intraocular lens (IOL) fixation surgery.

settingDepartment of Ophthalmology, St. Marianna University School of Medicine, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, Japan.

designRetrospective observation study.

methods60 eyes that underwent scleral-sutured or intrascleral IOL fixation at our institution, from October 2019 to August 2023. Of these, 54 eyes did not develop RPB (RPB- group), whereas 6 eyes did (RPB+ group). Within 1 month postoperatively, AS-OCT was used to measure iris length, IOL-iris distance, anterior chamber depth (ACA), anterior chamber width, angle-to-angle distance, steep and flat meridian keratometry, and central corneal thickness. These parameters were compared between the 2 groups. The significant differences parameters were further analyzed using multivariate nominal logistic regression to calculate odds ratios for RPB development.

resultsThe RPB (+) group showed significantly better postoperative logMAR corrected distance visual acuity compared with the RPB (-) group ( P = .04). No significant differences were observed in intraocular pressure, axial length, or history of ocular or systemic conditions. AS-OCT analysis revealed that iris length was significantly greater in the RPB (+) group ( P = .01), while no significant differences were found in IOL-iris distance, ACA, or other parameters. Multivariate nominal logistic regression identified iris length as a significant risk factor for RPB, with an odds ratio of 32.9 ( P < .01).

conclusionsLonger iris length may be associated with an increased risk of RPB after intraocular lens fixation surgery.
