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
To describe a sutureless technique for iris fixation of a 3-piece intraocular lens (3P-IOL) in the anterior chamber in eyes without capsular support, and to evaluate its outcomes. Twelve patients (10 aphakic, 2 with 3P-IOL subluxation post-Yamane technique) underwent detailed ophthalmologic evaluation. In required cases, anterior vitrectomy and 0.01% carbachol (Miostat, Alcon Laboratories, Fort Worth, TX, USA) were used to achieve miosis. Two mid-peripheral iridectomies were created with a vitrectomy probe. After viscoelastic injection, a 3P-IOL (SENSAR, Johnson and Johnson Vision, USA) was inserted into the anterior chamber using a cartridge. Haptics were positioned behind the iris through the iridectomy sites using microforceps. In subluxated intraocular lens (IOL) cases, the lens was repositioned similarly. Best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP), central macular thickness (CMT), and corneal endothelial density (CED) were recorded preoperatively, at 1 month, and at the final visit. The cohort included eight males and four females (mean age: 71.08 ± 4.07 years). Postoperative BCVA improved significantly (P < 0.001). No significant differences were found in IOP, CMT, or CED (P > 0.05). One case of transient IOP elevation was managed medically. Over a mean follow-up of 20.9 ± 4.8 months, no complications such as pigment dispersion, uveitis, hemorrhage, IOL decentration, macular edema, or corneal decompensation occurred. Iris fixation of a 3-piece IOL without sutures is a fast and effective technique that has demonstrated favorable short-term safety in patients without capsular support, provided that adequate anterior chamber depth and endothelial health are present.
