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 evaluate the anatomical and refractive outcomes of secondary in-the-bag intraocular lens (IOL) implantation following phacovitrectomy with anterior capsule polishing, by comparing it with primary IOL implantation.

methodsFifty-two patients who underwent phacovitrectomy were included in this prospective study and divided into two groups based on IOL implantation timing. Postoperative IOL tilt, decentration, objective optical quality, and refractive prediction error were compared between the secondary and primary groups at 3 months postoperatively.

resultsThe mean IOL tilt and decentration were 4.93 ± 1.52° and 0.23 ± 0.21 mm in the secondary group, and 4.75 ± 1.82° and 0.23 ± 0.14 mm in the primary group (P > 0.05 for both). For objective optical quality, no significant differences were found in intraocular and ocular higher-order aberrations, higher-order modulation transfer function, and Strehl ratio between the two groups for 3 mm and 5 mm pupils. The primary group exhibited a slight hyperopic shift, with a mean prediction error of 0.54 ± 0.41 D, which was significantly higher than that of the secondary group (- 0.05 ± 0.70 D; P = 0.001). However, there was no difference in mean absolute error between the two groups.

conclusionSecondary in-the-bag IOL implantation is a viable option following phacovitrectomy with anterior capsule polishing, offering a good IOL position and satisfactory refractive outcomes.
