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 visual and safety outcomes of double-flanged (Yamane) intrascleral intraocular lens fixation across different clinical scenarios of capsular support loss.
methodsThis retrospective cohort study included 55 eyes undergoing Yamane scleral fixation. Eyes were stratified by surgical indication into aphakia (10), dislocated intraocular lens (12), complicated phacoemulsification (15), and dropped intraocular lens managed with pars plana vitrectomy (18). Best-corrected visual acuity, intraocular pressure, and postoperative complications were assessed preoperatively and at 1-week, 1-month, and 3-month follow-up. Multivariable regression analysis was performed to evaluate associations between clinical factors and final visual acuity.
resultsBest-corrected visual acuity improved significantly in all groups (p < 0.001), with no intergroup differences at any postoperative time point (all p > 0.05). Postoperative intraocular pressure remained comparable across groups (p > 0.05). Early postoperative complications were more frequent in the phacoemulsification with scleral fixation group (p = 0.01), primarily transient corneal edema (93.3%) and transient intraocular pressure elevation (53.3%). Lens-related complications, including iris optic capture, intraocular lens tilt, and intraocular lens dislocation, each occurred in 6.7% and required surgical repositioning. Later postoperative complication rates at 1 and 3 months were comparable among groups. Postoperative refractive outcomes, including spherical equivalent and prediction error, were comparable across all surgical indications, with no significant intergroup differences (all p > 0.05).
conclusionsYamane scleral fixation was associated with consistent short-term visual improvement and an acceptable short-term complication profile across a broad range of clinical indications in eyes without capsular support. Combined cataract extraction with scleral fixation was associated with visual outcomes comparable to isolated secondary intraocular lens fixation but was associated with a higher incidence of early postoperative complications.
