Surgical repositioning of a SING IMT following haptic dislocation: Restoration of alignment and visual function.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 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.
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: The Smaller-Incision New-Generation Implantable Miniature Telescope (SING IMT) is an IOL designed to enhance central vision in patients with bilateral late-stage AMD. This report describes a case of successful surgical repositioning of a tilted SING IMT following haptic displacement out of the capsular bag. Observations: A 77-year-old man with bilateral geographic atrophy and baseline CDVA (Corrected Distance Visual Acuity) of logMAR 0.96 (Snellen 20/200) underwent uncomplicated implantation of a SING IMT in the right eye. Six weeks postoperatively, CDVA showed no improvement, and the patient reported monocular diplopia with off-axis visual perception. Retinal morphology remained stable. Slit-lamp and anterior segment OCT revealed pronounced optic tilt caused by inferior haptic dislocation out of the capsular bag. The haptic was successfully repositioned by performing superior traction with a push-pull hook, resulting in restoration of straight, diplopia-free vision and an improvement in CDVA to logMAR 0.52 (Snellen 20/63). Conclusions and importance: Prompt surgical correction of haptic displacement may fully restore the optical and functional benefits of the SING IMT without compromising corneal health.
