Detection of a white cataract with elevated intralenticular pressure using an optical biometer based on swept-source optical coherence tomography.
Observational study in Japanese journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 determine whether a white cataract (WC) with elevated intralenticular pressure (EWC) can be distinguished from one with normal intralenticular pressure (NWC) using an optical biometer based on Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography (SS-OCT). STUDY
designRetrospective observational study
methodsPatients with a WC who had undergone phacoemulsification and intraocular lens (IOL) implantation at Iwate Medical University Hospital were enrolled. Using surgical videos, WCs with/without leakage of the liquefied cortex or bulging of the swollen cortex were classified as EWC and NWC, respectively. Both groups were compared in terms of age, sex, ocular comorbidities, various parameters, and the presence of characteristic appearances of the liquefied cortex on SS-OCT images. If the parameters were not measured appropriately, remeasurement using SS-OCT images were performed.
resultsOf the 48 patients with a WC, 26 eyes were classified as having an EWC, and 22 as NWC. There were significant differences in lens thickness (LT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), ΔLT, ΔACD (the differences in LT or ACD between the eyes with a WC and the fellow eyes, respectively), and age between an EWC and an NWC. ROC analysis showed that the AUC values of LT, ΔLT, and ΔACD were higher than 0.970. LT required remeasurement in approximately half of the WC, whereas ACD did not. Image evaluation for detecting an EWC had a sensitivity of 88.5% and a specificity of 90.9%.
conclusionsAn optical biometer based on SS-OCT may detect an EWC using LT, ΔLT, ΔACD, and SS-OCT images.
