Effect on contrast sensitivity after clear, yellow and orange intraocular lens implantation.
Trial report in International ophthalmology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The objective of this study is to evaluate contrast sensitivity function (CSF) after clear, yellow- and orange-tinted intraocular lens (IOL) implantation. This was a prospective randomized study of 98 patients with senile cataract for a period of 6 months from day 1 of August 2014 to day 31 of January 2015. After phacoemulsification, 33 patients were implanted with clear IOLs (AcrySof UV-filtering IOL, SA60AT), 32 patients were implanted with yellow coloured IOLs (AcrySof Natural blue-light-attenuating and UV-filtering IOL, SN60AT with IMPRUV(®) filter) and 33 patients were implanted with orange-tinted blue-filtering IOLs (PC440Y Optech). After 1 month, monocular CSF was done under photopic (85 cd/m(2)) and mesopic (3 cd/m(2)) illumination condition with CSV-1000 test. The best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) after 1 month was 0.021 ± 0.058 logMAR for clear lens, 0.022 ± 0.059 logMAR for yellow lens and 0.019 ± 0.065 logMAR for orange lens (p = 0.989). Uniocular average photopic contrast sensitivity was 1.36 ± 0.19, 1.43 ± 0.18 and 1.46 ± 0.15 log units for clear lens, yellow lens and orange lens, respectively (statistically not significant; p = 0.076). Average mesopic contrast sensitivity was 1.02 ± 0.21 log units for clear lens, 1.00 ± 0.17 log units for yellow lens and 0.99 ± 0.15 log units for orange lens (statistically not significant; p = 0.771). Yellow or orange coloured blue-filtering IOLs are comparable to clear IOLs in terms of photopic and mesopic contrast sensitivity.
