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

The reported prevalence of zonular weakness in the general population ranges between 0.46% and 2.6%. Several etiological risk factors are associated with zonular weakness, including increased age, pseudoexfoliation syndrome, Marfan syndrome, homocystinuria, retinitis pigmentosa mature cataracts, high axial myopia, and previous ocular trauma or surgery. Careful preoperative assessment or intraoperative recognition of the condition in the early steps of cataract surgery can aid in the prevention of complications and facilitate the management of the case. In this article, we summarized the available evidence to improve the surgery outcome and prevent complications. We mainly explored different approaches and instrumentation to preserve the lenticular capsule and aid in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation.
