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 evaluate the intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation after cataract surgery in patients with zonular weakness.
methodsThis study assessed the medical records of cataract patients with zonular weakness treated at Naresuan University Hospital, Thailand-country between November 2014 and October 2019. Preoperative and postoperative values of uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), refractive error, corneal refractive power (k-value), axial length, and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were examined and compared. The refractive power was converted to spherical equivalent (SE). During the operation, grading of the zonular weakness was evaluated by the surgeon. The IOLs and the capsular tension rings were then inserted. The estimated error (EE) was considered as the difference between the theoretical IOL lens position (effective lens position [ELP]) and the clinical postoperative IOL position (postoperative ACD).
resultsThis study included nine participants (nine eyes) with an average age of 64.7 ± 11.42 years. The median preoperative and postoperative UCVA were 1.39 (0.94-1.82) and 0.00 (0.00-0.37) logMAR, respectively. All of the participants achieved a better postoperative UCVA than preoperative UCVA. The preoperative SE was not able to be measured using an automated refractometer. The postoperative SE of all participants had improved compared with the preoperative SE. The median preoperative and postoperative ACD were 3.15 (2.59-3.48) and 3.98 (2.93-4.33) mm, respectively. The value of postoperative ACD was significantly increased from preoperative ACD. For a subluxation of IOL position, there was a statistically significant difference between the values of ELP and postoperative ACD (
conclusionAfter cataract surgery, the UCVA of all participants was improved, and the postoperative ACD was statistically significantly smaller than ELP. The EE was positive, and the IOL position after cataract surgery was shifted to the front of the eye.
