Chopper-Capsular fornix hook technique for severe ectopia lentis.

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
Purpose: To describe a simple yet effective method to access the lens in cases of severe ectopia lentis, in which over 50 % of the lens is covered by the dilated pupil. The lens-bag complex is hooked by a chopper peripheral to and just anterior to the equatorial plane and pulled toward the center. The lens-bag complex is centered by the chopper, which allows a continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis to be executed. Observations: This technique enables access to the lens in cases of extreme subluxation with preservation of the lens-bag complex for intraocular lens placement. Conclusions and importance: The Chopper-Capsular Fornix Hook Technique can be used to access and maintain the capsular bag by hooking and centering the lens-bag complex in cases of extreme lens subluxation.
