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
To investigate the influence of the angle between the tension ring force line and the intraocular lens (IOL) on residual astigmatism after lens replacement surgery in Marfan Syndrome (MFS) patients with subluxated lenses. We conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients with MFS who presented with lens subluxation and subsequently underwent cataract surgery with implantation of a Capsular Tension Ring (CTR) and a single-focus IOL at the Ophthalmology Department of Union Hospital, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, from April 1, 2020, to April 1, 2024. The study included patients with confirmed MFS and lens subluxation. Data collected included preoperative anterior segment photographs and postoperative assessments of visual acuity. The analysis focused on the measurement of the angle between the CTR force line and the IOL's long axis (TRF-IOL Angle), as well as the ocular residual astigmatism (ORA), which was determined using vector analysis methods. The study encompassed 15 patients (25 eyes) in the final analysis. The gender distribution among the patients was 68% male and 32% female. The TRF-IOL Angle was identified as a significant factor impacting postoperative residual astigmatism. A pronounced effect was observed where a TRF-IOL Angle of less than 50 degrees was associated with increased residual astigmatism, indicating a direct relationship between the angle size and astigmatism levels. No significant association was identified for angles of 50 degrees or more, suggesting a threshold effect at this angle measurement. The angle between the CTR force line and IOL is associated with residual astigmatism after lens replacement surgery in MFS patients. Our findings suggest that the TRF-IOL Angle may be a factor associated with postoperative residual astigmatism in MFS patients. Appropriate positioning of the CTR and IOL could potentially contribute to favorable astigmatic outcomes. Trial registration: This study is retrospectively registered. We have registered this study with the Chinese Clinical Trials Registry ( www.chictr.org.cn , registration number: ChiCTR2400083341).
