Long-term outcomes of congenital cataract surgery in eyes with microcornea operated within the first year of life.

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
We retrospectively evaluated the long-term surgical outcomes of congenital cataract in eyes with microcornea, including both aphakic and pseudophakic eyes. A total of 43 eyes from 25 patients who underwent cataract surgery within the first 12 months of life (mean age at surgery: 3.3 ± 2.4 months) were analyzed, with a mean follow-up period of 13.7 ± 2.4 years (range: 10-18 years). The mean corneal diameter was 8.8 ± 0.8 mm. The cohort included 14 cases with bilateral aphakia, 4 cases with bilateral pseudophakia, 4 cases with unilateral aphakia, and 3 cases with unilateral pseudophakia. The mean corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) at the final visit was 0.543 ± 0.709 logMAR. CDVA of 20/40 or better was achieved in 39% of bilateral aphakic eyes, 88% of bilateral pseudophakic eyes, 50% of unilateral aphakic eyes, and 33% of unilateral pseudophakic eyes. The bilateral pseudophakia group demonstrated significantly better CDVA compared to the bilateral aphakia group (p = 0.010). Secondary glaucoma developed in 18.8% of aphakic eyes and 0% of pseudophakic eyes (p = 0.149). Visual axis opacification occurred in 12.5% of aphakic eyes and 54.5% of pseudophakic eyes (p = 0.010). Surgical treatment of congenital cataract in eyes with microcornea resulted in satisfactory long-term outcomes. Secondary glaucoma in aphakic eyes and visual axis opacification in pseudophakic eyes remain important considerations in long-term management.
