Ultra-short-term refractive outcomes after Yamane technique scleral-fixated intraocular lens implantation: a comparison of anterior vitrectomy and pars plana vitrectomy.

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
backgroundThe Yamane technique for sutureless scleral-fixated intraocular lens (YTSFIOL) implantation is an established option for visual rehabilitation in eyes without capsular support. However, evidence on ultra-short-term refractive outcomes and the influence of different vitreous management strategies remains limited.
methodsThis retrospective observational cohort study included consecutive adult patients who underwent YTSFIOL implantation by a single surgeon at a tertiary centre. Ultra-short-term outcomes were defined as visual and refractive outcomes assessed at six weeks postoperatively. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalence (SE), refractive astigmatism, and corneal astigmatism were analysed and compared between eyes that underwent anterior vitrectomy (AV) and pars plana vitrectomy (PPV).
resultsThirty-one eyes of 30 patients were included. Mean BCVA improved significantly from 0.25 ± 0.24 logMAR preoperatively to 0.14 ± 0.10 logMAR at six weeks postoperatively (p = 0.041). Mean SE improved from + 4.83 ± 7.39 D to - 0.70 ± 0.90 D (p < 0.001). Both refractive and corneal astigmatism increased significantly at six weeks. No statistically significant differences were observed between AV and PPV groups in postoperative BCVA, SE, refractive astigmatism, corneal astigmatism, or SE prediction error (all p > 0.05). Early postoperative complication rates were comparable between groups (p = 0.335).
conclusionYTSFIOL implantation provides significant improvement in visual acuity and predictable refractive outcomes as early as six weeks postoperatively, irrespective of vitreous management strategy.
