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
objectiveThis study aimed to investigate the effects of laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) on lens position and stability in patients with primary angle-closure disease (PACD).
methodsThis prospective study included 164 eyes of patients with PACD who underwent LPI (67 eyes with primary angle closure suspect [PACS], 54 with primary angle closure [PAC], and 43 with primary angle closure glaucoma [PACG]). Parameters related to the crystalline lens were collected using ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM) and IOLMaster700® (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany) before and after LPI. The lens position was evaluated using lens position (LP), relative LP (RLP), and lens-axial length factor (LAF). The lens stability was assessed by calculating the differences between the maximum and minimum values of iridolenticular angle (ILA) and iridolenticular contact distance (ILCD) across the superior, inferior, nasal, and temporal quadrants.
resultsPost-LPI, LP, and RLP increased in all three groups. The increase in RLP was not statistically significant in the PACS group (P > 0.05), but all other changes were statistically significant (P < 0.05). Changes in LAF were not statistically significant across all groups (P > 0.05). The differences in ILA values decreased after LPI in all three groups (PACS: pre-LPI: 9.61 ± 4.76°, post-LPI: 7.27 ± 3.95°; PAC: pre-LPI: 8.96 ± 5.29°, post-LPI: 6.47 ± 3.86°; PACG: pre-LPI: 10.61 ± 6.63°, post-LPI: 6.44 ± 3.77°), with statistically significant differences (P < 0.05). The decrease in ILA difference showed an increasing trend in all groups (PACS; 2.34 ± 4.13°, PAC; 2.49 ± 5.82°, PACG; 4.17 ± 6.43°), but was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). The ILCD differences decreased in all groups, but were not statistically significant (P > 0.05).
conclusionLPI alters ocular structure and affects lens position, causing a relative posterior shift of the lens, which may affect intraocular lens power calculation in some patients with PACD, especially those with PACG. Furthermore, lens stability improved after LPI, with the most notable improvement observed in the PACG group.
