Refractive Results and Complications of Lensectomy in Simple Extreme Microphthalmos Cases.
Article in Turkish journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Objectives: To evaluate the refractive outcomes, changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) and anterior chamber depth (ACD), and postoperative complications following lensectomy for angle-closure in cases of simple extreme microphthalmos. Materials and Methods: This retrospective study analyzed eyes with simple extreme microphthalmos (axial length <18 mm) that underwent lensectomy between January 2015 and July 2024. Data collection included demographic details, preoperative and postoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), IOP, number of antiglaucoma medications, ACD, the diopter (D) of the implanted intraocular lens (IOL) according to the Hoffer-Q formula, postoperative refractive error, and surgical complications. Results: A total of 20 eyes from 12 patients were analyzed, with a mean patient age of 55.4±8.7 years and an average axial length of 16.48±0.8 mm. The average power of the implanted IOL was 53.32±6.2 D, ranging from 44 to 64 D. The mean preoperative spherical refractive equivalent (SE) was +12.4±2.8 D, while the mean postoperative SE was -6.67±5.2 D (p<0.05). Postoperative spherical refractive error exceeding -1.00 D was detected in 15 eyes (75%). Postoperatively, significant decreases were observed in IOP and the need for antiglaucoma medication (p=0.02 for both). The mean ACD increased significantly after surgery compared to the preoperative ACD (p=0.01). The difference between the intended refractive outcome and the postoperative spherical refractive error was statistically significant (p<0.05). Postoperatively, 8 eyes (40%) had a BCVA of ≤0.7 logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution (logMAR), 10 (50%) had a BCVA between >0.7 and <1.4 logMAR and 2 eyes (10%) had a BCVA of ≥1.4 logMAR. Conclusion: Lensectomy in cases of extreme microphthalmos effectively reduces IOP and reliance on antiglaucoma medications and increases the ACD. However, a notable incidence of postoperative myopic refractive error remains a concern.
