Visual and optical outcomes of pupilloplasty in glued intrascleral intraocular lens eyes with irregular mydriatic pupils.
Observational study in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 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
purposeThe purpose of this paper is to evaluate the impact of pupilloplasty on visual outcomes and optical quality in eyes with irregular, persistently dilated pupils following glued intrascleral posterior chamber intraocular lens (IOL) implantation.
designRetrospective observational study.
methodsFourteen eyes of fourteen patients presenting with persistent mydriasis and visual symptoms after glued intrascleral IOL fixation were analyzed. Single-pass four-throw pupilloplasty was performed in all cases except one, which required trifold pupilloplasty. Preoperative and 1-week postoperative evaluations included best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), mesopic pupil diameter, and corneal wavefront parameters-optical path difference root mean square (OPD RMS), higher-order RMS (HO RMS), astigmatism RMS, coma, spherical aberration, and point spread function (PSF) Strehl ratio-measured using the Sirius Scheimpflug-Placido system. Subjective visual satisfaction was also assessed. Outcomes were assessed at 1 week postoperatively, representing early anatomical and optical stabilization following pupillary reconstruction.
resultsMean BCVA improved significantly from 0.62 ± 0.31 to 0.23 ± 0.10 logMAR ( P < 0.001). Mesopic pupil size reduced from 6.18 ± 0.88 to 2.59 ± 0.21 mm ( P < 0.001). Significant postoperative reductions were observed in OPD RMS, HO RMS, astigmatism RMS, coma, and spherical aberration (all P ≤ 0.03). The PSF Strehl ratio increased more than threefold ( P < 0.001). All patients reported symptomatic improvement, with 85.7% rating postoperative vision as very good or excellent. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were noted.
conclusionPupilloplasty effectively reconstructs a near-physiologic pupil and leads to marked early improvement in visual acuity and optical quality in eyes with irregular mydriasis after glued intrascleral IOL implantation; however, longer follow-up studies are required to confirm long-term stability.
