Anterior Capsular Tear During Phacoemulsification: Successful Management With the Two-Y Crushing Technique.
Article in Cureus, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.

Abstract
An anterior capsular tear or radial extension of the capsulorhexis is a serious complication during phacoemulsification and may lead to significant sequelae. In the present case, an anterior capsular tear occurred during capsulorhexis in phacoemulsification surgery. We opted to use the Two-Y crushing technique to safely emulsify and aspirate the nucleus in the presence of an anterior capsular tear. This technique was originally described for nuclear cracking in posterior polar cataracts (PPCs) under the protection of an epinuclear shell, with the advantage of minimizing capsular stress. In this technique, following successful hydrodelineation and viscodelineation, the nucleus was prolapsed out of the capsular bag, crushed into multiple fragments using two Y-rotators, and subsequently emulsified using a phaco probe in the anterior chamber at the iris plane. Throughout the procedure, minimal stress was exerted on the torn anterior capsule, and with appropriate precautions, the surgery was completed successfully with a favorable visual outcome.
