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

Purpose: Purpose: To present and evaluate the effect of a novel technique, 25-gauge (G) needle-assisted phacoemulsification, to remove dislocated intravitreal lens nuclei. Methods: Methods: Nine eyes of nine patients with dislocated intravitreal lens nuclei who underwent 23-G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) and 25-G needle-assisted phacoemulsification between July 2022 and September 2024 were included in this study. Best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), intraocular pressure (IOP) and corneal endothelial cell count (CECC) were statistically analysed both preoperatively and postoperatively. The intraoperative and postoperative complications were evaluated. A minimum follow-up of 6 months was completed for all eyes. Results: Results: All nine eyes of nine patients were successfully treated with 23-G PPV and 25-G needle-assisted phacoemulsification and postoperatively followed up for 6-13 months. BCVA improved significantly ( Conclusion: Conclusion: The 25-G needle-assisted phacoemulsification is a safe and efficient alternative for removing dislocated intravitreal lens nuclei.
