1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Optimal centration of an intraocular lens (IOL) is important for obtaining its intended visual properties. The bag-in-the-lens (BIL) approach is a surgical technique that optimizes centration by centring the lens using both an anterior and a posterior capsulorhexis. The BIL is a monofocal hydrophilic IOL with a biconvex optic and two elliptical plane haptics. The space between the haptics creates an equatorial groove. The IOL is then suspended by placing both anterior and posterior capsular bag rhexis openings into this equatorial IOL groove. As a result, the BIL IOL captures residual lens epithelial cells and therefore additionally seals its position avoiding opacification of the visual axis. In this review, we offer an overview of current literature on the BIL technique.
