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

The creation of a round, continuous curvilinear opening in the lens capsule has enabled techniques to fixate or capture the intraocular lens (IOL) optic through the opening to achieve fixation of the IOL. Optic capture enable IOL fixation and centration even in the absence of an intact capsular bag. This was first described for usage in the anterior capsule, but has subsequently been shown to be useful not only for the posterior capsule, but even for double fixation through intact curvilinear openings in both anterior and posterior capsules. This editorial reviews the many different techniques of optic capture that evolved over the last 35 years.
