Article in The open ophthalmology journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07288086 (Reliability and Effectiveness of New Enova Preloaded Intaocular Lens and Cartridge System), which is not on this map. Cited by 5 papers.

1 · What the graph read from 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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundAdvancements in cataract surgery have necessitated the availability of intraocular lens preloaded delivery systems that can safely, effectively and predictably deliver IOLs in the eye. Preloaded delivery systems simplify and reduce procedural variability during surgery preparation.

objectiveThe objective of this study was to evaluate clinical acceptability, delivery characteristics and clinical outcomes in patients implanted with new generation hydrophobic acrylic Intraocular Lens with Preloaded delivery system.

methodsThis was a single centre retrospective study. Total 41 patients were enrolled in the study to get at least 38 patients for evaluation. All patients were assessed on day1 and 1, 3 and 6 months after surgery.

resultsEYECRYL-SERT showed 'excellent' ease of insertion and handling in all 41(100%) patients. Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (CDVA) improved from 0.74±0.58 logMAR during screening to 0.03±0.04 logMAR 6 months after surgery. The Corrected Intermediate Visual Acuity (CIVA) and Corrected Near Visual Acuity (CNVA) were 0.10±0.04 and 0.01±0.02 logMAR post 6 months surgery, respectively. The refractive spherical equivalence was -1.94±2.51 D during screening, which improved significantly (p=0.0018) to -0.21±0.47 D post 6 months surgery. The low and high contrast sensitivity was 0.06±0.06 and -0.05±0.06 logMAR after 6 months surgery, respectively. The endothelial cell loss was 5.67%, 7.22% and 9.75% at 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery, respectively, as compared to screening. None of the subjects reported any adverse event during the study period.

conclusionThe IOL delivery system (EYECRYL_SERT) provided desired delivery characteristics during cataract surgery and was effective in improving clinical outcomes in cataract patients.
