Contributions of aquatic organisms to understanding the vertebrate ocular lens.
Review in Frontiers in 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
Aquatic species have played a vital role over the past 200 years in detailing the structure, physiology, development, and evolution of the ocular lens. As a living piece of biological "glass", the lens must balance the optical demands of transparency and refractive power with the requirements of a metabolically active tissue. Lens researchers have leveraged unique aspects of aquatic species, such as 1) the lack of corneal refraction and the simplification of modeling aquatic lens optics, 2) the presence of external embryos for real-time observation of eye and lens development, and 3) the diversity of habitats, ecology, and genetics that support comparative studies. Discoveries across many areas of aquatic lens research contribute to understanding human blindness, tissue aging and regeneration, optical and protein design, and fundamental features of cell biology relevant to many tissues. This review highlights key contributions in these areas and points to possible future areas of discovery.
