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 assess whether preoperative lens status-aphakia, intraocular lens (IOL) subluxation, or complete IOL dislocation-influences retinal and functional outcomes after secondary IOL implantation using the Yamane technique. Methods: This retrospective study included 59 eyes undergoing the Yamane technique: 13 aphakic, 25 with subluxated IOLs, and 21 with dislocated IOLs. All patients completed a 12-month follow-up with spectral-domain OCT at 1, 3, and 12 months. The primary endpoint was cystoid macular edema (CME) or epiretinal membrane (ERM). Secondary endpoints were best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), subjective refractive astigmatism (SRAST), and endothelial cell density (ECD). A quantile regression model was used to identify predictors of visual improvement. Results: At 3 months, CME was observed in 19 eyes (32.2%). After excluding eyes with pre-existing macular changes, incident postoperative CME occurred in 6 eyes (10.2%). At 12 months, CME was present in 8 eyes (13.6%). Postoperative ERM developed in 5 eyes (8.5%). BCVA improved significantly in all three groups (p < 0.001), and SRAST remained stable (p = 0.819). ECD decreased significantly in subluxated and dislocated eyes but not in aphakic eyes. Baseline BCVA was the only independent predictor of visual improvement at 12 months. Conclusion: Retinal and functional outcomes after Yamane fixation were comparable across aphakia, IOL subluxation, and IOL dislocation. Although a transient peak in CME prevalence was observed at 3 months, the incidence of new postoperative CME was limited and mainly associated with IOL explantation. Visual recovery was primarily determined by preoperative visual acuity.
