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
Purpose: To describe a formula to back-calculate the theoretical position of the principal object plane of an intraocular lens (IOL), as well as the theoretical anatomic position in a thick lens eye model. A study was conducted to ascertain the impact of variations in design and IOL power, on the refractive outcomes of cataract surgery. Methods: A schematic eye model was designed and manipulated to reflect changes in the anterior and posterior radii of an IOL, while keeping the central thickness and paraxial powers static. Modifications of the shape factor (X) of the IOL affects the thick lens estimated effective lens position (ELP). Corresponding postoperative spherical equivalent (SE) were computed for different IOL powers (-5 diopters [D], 5 D, 15 D, 25 D, and 35 D) with X ranging from -1 to +1 by 0.1. Results: The impact of the thick lens estimated effective lens position shift on postoperative refraction was highly dependent on the optical power of the IOL and its thickness. Design modifications could theoretically induce postoperative refraction variations between approximately 0.50 and 3.0 D, for implant powers ranging from 15 D to 35 D. Conclusions: This work could be of interest for researchers involved in the design of IOL power calculation formulas. The importance of IOL geometry in refractive outcomes, especially for short eyes, should challenge the fact that these data are not usually published by IOL manufacturers. Translational Relevance: The back-calculation of the estimated effective lens position is central to intraocular lens calculation formulas, especially for artificial intelligence-based optical formulas, where the algorithm can be trained to predict this value.
