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

To evaluate the long-term posterior capsule opacification (PCO) formation, and glistening rate of the HOYA Vivinex (XY1) IOL compared to Alcon AcrySof (SN60WF). In this prospective, multicentric, randomized, paired-eye, open-label study, we included 87 subjects that underwent cataract surgery with IOL implantation, with 67 patients completing the 3-year follow-up. The completer population consisted of 32 subjects implanted with XY1 and 35 implanted with SN60WF. Primary endpoints consisted of the evaluation of glistenings and measurement of PCO. Secondary outcomes included Best Corrected Distance Visual Acuity (BCVA), Contrast Acuity (CA), uncorrected visual acuities, subjective refraction, medical and lens complication rates, adverse events, and optical/visual symptoms. Follow-up visits occurred at 6-months, 1-, 2- and 3-years. At 3-years follow-up, mean PCO score was 0.121 ± 0.193 for eyes implanted with Vivinex versus 0.239 ± 0.463 for AcrySof (p = 0.026). The Vivinex IOL showed statistically significantly lower glistening occurrence through 3-years postoperatively (0.14 ± 0.26) compared to AcrySof (1.79 ± 1.43; p < 0.0001). Postoperative visual acuities improved from baseline in both IOL groups (p < 0.0001), and remained stable through the 3-year follow-up period. Eyes implanted with a HOYA Vivinex IOL exhibited significantly lower occurrence of glistening at 3-years versus Alcon AcrySof (p < 0.0001). Incidence of PCO was very low and comparable in both Vivinex and AcrySof eyes.
