KAMRA Inlay Implantation for Presbyopia Compensation: A Retrospective Evaluation of Patient Satisfaction and Subjective Vision 12-Month Postoperative.
Article in Middle East African journal of ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
purposeThe aim of the study is to evaluate patients' satisfaction and subjective vision 12 months after monocular KAMRA corneal inlay implantation for the surgical compensation of presbyopia. SUBJECTS AND
methodsMedical records of patients who underwent corneal inlay implantation in the nondominant eye between 2013 and 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. Data were collected from several centers in Lebanon. Patients with hyperopia or myopia with presbyopia between 45 and 70 years not suffering from any other ocular pathology were eligible for inclusion. Twelve-month postoperative satisfaction score was evaluated in all patients as well as the subjective vision score for near, intermediate, and distant tasks.
resultsThis study included 73 patients. Almost 95% (69/73) of patients were satisfied or very satisfied with their vision and 93% (68/73) never or almost never used reading glasses while performing daily tasks. Subjective vision scores were found to be higher for distant and intermediate tasks performed during the day than for those performed during the night (
conclusionThe implant of a small-aperture corneal inlay resulted in a substantial improvement in patients' distant, intermediate, and near subjective vision, better in normal light than in dim light, and most patients became spectacles independent.
