Case Report: Ophthalmic endoscopy for complete resection of a symptomatic iris pigment epithelial cyst.

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
Background: To report a case of symptomatic posterior iris pigment epithelial (IPE) cyst causing angle closure that was successfully managed with ophthalmic endoscopy. Case presentation: A female with a 1-week history of blurred vision in right eye (RE). Slit lamp and UBM examination revealed iris cysts in both eyes, and a large dominant temporal cyst in the RE produced mild forward displacement of the ciliary body and bulging of the iris root. Diagnosis was iris cyst in both eyes. Assisted by ophthalmic endoscopy, the cyst wall was removed completely without damaging the surrounding tissues or the lens. On postoperative day one, the patient's best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved, and her intraocular pressure (IOP) decreased. At the 3-months follow-up, the patient's BCVA and IOP remained stable, and there was no cyst recurrence. Conclusion: This case suggests that endoscopic iridocystectomy is a good, viable, and minimally invasive option to treat symptomatic iris cysts.
