Sinskey Hook-Guided Mechanical Peeling of Primary Posterior Capsular Plaque During Cataract Surgery.
Article in Cureus, 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
Primary posterior capsular plaque may be encountered during cataract surgery and can compromise the visual axis. Although Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy effectively treats postoperative posterior capsular opacification, it carries recognized risks, and intraoperative management may be preferable in selected cases. This report describes a simplified Sinskey hook-guided mechanical peeling technique performed before intraocular lens implantation. In a single adult case, plaque separation was achieved through controlled tangential glide-dissection beneath the plaque using a Sinskey hook, followed by forceps extraction. An ophthalmic viscosurgical device was used only for anterior chamber maintenance. The posterior capsule remained intact, allowing uncomplicated in-the-bag intraocular lens implantation. At three months, the visual axis remained clear without inflammation, intraocular pressure elevation, or need for Nd:YAG capsulotomy. This technique provides a simple, instrument-efficient intraoperative option for selected posterior capsular plaques.
