Modified sutureless flanged intrascleral intraocular lens fixation in pediatric patients: clinical outcomes over 2 years of follow-up.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 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
purposeTo evaluate the visual and anatomical outcomes of modified sutureless flanged intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation in pediatric patients with insufficient capsular or zonular support.
methodsThis retrospective case series included pediatric patients (≤ 18 years) who underwent flanged intrascleral IOL fixation between January 2022 and August 2023 at Beijing Tongren Hospital, with a minimum follow-up of two years of follow-up. All patients underwent a comprehensive ophthalmic examination. IOL tilt and decentration were automatically measured using swept-source anterior segment optical coherence tomography, and haptic intrascleral visibility was graded as none or invisible (Grade 0), mild or slight (Grade I), and moderate or obvious (Grade II).
resultsFifteen eyes from 11 patients (mean age, 11.5 ± 4.1 years) were included, with a mean follow-up of 29.0 ± 4.4 months. At the final visit, the mean best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) improved from 0.75 ± 0.57 to 0.21 ± 0.18 logMAR (t = 3.867, P = 0.002). Mean IOL tilt and decentration were 3.99 ± 2.50° and 0.35 ± 0.35 mm, respectively. Haptic visibility was graded as Grade 0 in 13.6%, Grade I in 72.7%, and Grade II in 13.6%. No cases required IOL repositioning.
conclusionsSutureless flanged intrascleral IOL fixation demonstrated favorable visual outcomes and stable IOL positioning in pediatric patients. Systematic grading of haptic intrascleral visibility provided additional information regarding postoperative haptic embedding. This technique provides a safe and effective alternative to sutured fixation for secondary IOL implantation in children.
