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

An adaptive optics (AO) system was used to investigate the effect of long-term neural adaptation to the habitual optical profile on neural contrast sensitivity in pseudophakic eyes after the correction of all aberrations, defocus, and astigmatism. Pseudophakic eyes were assessed at 4 and 8 months postoperatively for changes in visual performance. Visual benefit was observed in all eyes at all spatial frequencies after AO correction. The average visual benefit across spatial frequencies was higher in the pseudophakic group (3.31) at 4 months postoperatively compared to the normal group (2.41). The average contrast sensitivity after AO correction in the pseudophakic group improved by a factor of 1.73 between 4 and 8 months postoperatively. Contrast sensitivity in pseudophakic eyes was poorer, which could be attributed to long-term adaptation to the habitual optical profiles before the cataract surgery, in conjunction with age-related vision loss. Improved visual performance in pseudophakic eyes suggests that the aged neural system can be re-adapted for altered ocular optics.
