The Effects of Angle Kappa on Clinical Results and Patient-Reported Outcomes After Implantation of a Trifocal Intraocular Lens.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
Purpose: To objectively determine if angle kappa materially influenced clinical outcomes or patient-reported satisfaction and visual quality of patients implanted with a trifocal intraocular lens (IOL). Methods: This was a non-interventional study of clinical outcomes. Subjects were patients choosing to be bilaterally implanted with a trifocal IOL (PanOptix Results: Data from 56 eyes of 28 subjects were analyzed; 26 eyes had an AK magnitude <0.3 mm, 14 had an AK from 0.3 mm to less than 4 mm and 16 had an AK ≥0.4 mm. Neither visual disturbances (eg, glare, halos, starbursts), satisfaction nor spectacle dependence were correlated to the magnitude of angle kappa. The magnitude of postoperative AK was significantly lower than preoperative (0.24 ± 0.12 mm vs 0.30 ± 0.16 mm, p < 0.01). Conclusion: The magnitude of preoperative Angle Kappa had no apparent effect on the refractive, visual acuity or subjective (visual disturbances, quality of vision, satisfaction) clinical outcomes with this trifocal IOL. The magnitude of angle kappa was significantly lower after surgery.
