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
Foldable acrylic lenses are the most extensively used 'in the bag' monofocal or multifocal intraocular lenses (IOLs) in cataract surgery, toric lenses in astigmatism, and refractive lens exchange surgeries. When subluxation or dislocation of these lenses is encountered, they must be explanted as they cannot be fixed with conventional scleral fixation techniques. The 'pierce' technique is a novel way of fixing these lenses to the sclera, wherein a 9-0/10-0 polypropylene suture with a straight needle is passed through the IOL at the haptic-optic junction. The ends of the threads are sutured under the scleral flaps in a vertical fashion. This case series highlights the merits of refixing subluxated or dislocated IOLs in a closed or open globe technique and its utility in eyes with weakened capsular bags as it provides good centration, minimal tilt, and applicability to a wider range of foldable IOLs without eyelets, including premium IOLs.
