Rapidly progressive bilateral lens abnormalities following cataract surgery in a highly myopic patient.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundAxial high myopia (AHM) combined with complicated cataract elevates cataract surgery risks, and capsular contraction syndrome (CCS) is a rare postoperative complication with high myopia as a high-risk factor. Nevertheless, the simultaneous occurrence of postoperative CCS in one eye and spontaneous complete crystalline lens dislocation in the contralateral unoperated eye has not previously been reported in the AHM population. CASE PRESENTATION: A 60-year-old woman with long-standing high myopia and bilateral nuclear cataract underwent right eye cataract surgery. The right eye developed rapidly progressive CCS with anterior capsular shrinkage and intraocular lens (IOL) decentration at 4 and 5 weeks postoperatively, requiring multiple surgical interventions including anterior vitrectomy and IOL replacement. During the same period, the untreated left eye developed spontaneous complete posterior dislocation of the crystalline lens into the vitreous cavity and was managed with pars plana vitrectomy (PPV), lensectomy, and secondary suture-suspended IOL implantation.
conclusionsThis case underscores two core clinical recommendations for cataract surgery in patients with AHM. Rigorous preoperative counselling is essential to inform patients comprehensively about the risks of CCS, which may necessitate successive secondary surgical procedures ranging from neodymium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) laser capsulotomy, IOL repositioning or exchange and scleral-fixated IOL implantation to anterior vitrectomy and PPV, and these interventions may result in permanent visual loss. Additionally, rigorous surveillance of zonular integrity and native lens stability in the contralateral eye is mandatory for high myopia patients diagnosed with postoperative CCS.
