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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo analyze the visual outcomes, contrast sensitivity (CS), and patient satisfaction differences between the bilateral implantation of a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL) and the mix-match implantation of an extended-depth-of-focus (EDOF) IOL and a diffractive trifocal IOL.

methodsA total of 20 patients who underwent bilateral implantation of AT LISA tri 839MP (Group 1) and 20 patients who had a mix-match implantation of AT LARA 829MP in the dominant eye and AT LISA tri 839MP in the nondominant eye (Group 2) were evaluated. Uncorrected distance (4 m), intermediate (60 cm and 80 cm), and near (40 cm) visual acuity, as well as CS, defocus curve, and responses to the patient questionnaires, were evaluated.

resultsEighty eyes of 40 patients were included. Uncorrected distance and near visual outcomes were similar between the groups (p > 0.05). Group 2 showed significantly better intermediate visual outcomes at 60 cm and 80 cm than Group 1 (p < 0.05). Group 2 showed significantly better CS outcomes (photopic and mesopic) than Group 1 (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding defocus curves from + 0.00 D to - 2.00 D, but a significant difference was shown from - 2.00 D to - 4.00 D. Patients' satisfaction was significantly higher in Group 2 for driving at night (p < 0.05).

conclusionsBoth groups showed an effective visual performance. Group 2 exhibited better photopic and mesopic CS. The combination of EDOF and trifocal IOL seems to be a good option with a comfortable vision at all distances and less adverse visual phenomena.
