Anterior segment optical coherence tomography-guided management of capsular contraction and anterior-posterior capsular adhesion after congenital cataract surgery: a case report.
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
backgroundCapsular changes after congenital cataract surgery may compromise the visual axis in infants and may necessitate secondary surgical intervention. In such situations, identifying a safe dissection plane can be challenging under conventional microscopic visualization, and adjunctive intraoperative imaging may be beneficial. CASE PRESENTATION: A 2-month-old boy diagnosed with bilateral congenital cataracts underwent phacoaspiration, posterior capsulotomy, and anterior vitrectomy with planned aphakia. Despite continued topical treatment, the patient developed progressive posterior synechiae, anterior capsular contraction, and anterior-posterior capsular adhesion within 1 month postoperatively. Surgical dissection of the adhesion and enlargement of the anterior capsulotomy were performed under intraoperative anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) guidance. AS-OCT provided intraoperative cross-sectional information suggesting a narrow cleavage plane between the anterior and posterior capsules, which helped guide targeted viscodissection.
conclusionsIntraoperative AS-OCT may serve as a useful adjunct in the management of postoperative capsular adhesion after congenital cataract surgery by helping surgeons identify the dissection plane and guide intraoperative decision-making, particularly when conventional microscopic visualization is limited.
