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

introductionThis study assessed 5-year results of rotationally asymmetric multifocal intraocular lens (IOL) with +1.5 diopters (D) near addition (Lentis Comfort LS-313 MF15, Teleon Surgical B.V., Spankeren, Netherlands).

methodsIn 38 eyes of 20 patients (76.8 ± 4.6 years) who were examined at both 1 and 5 years after surgery, clinical data were retrospectively collected.

resultsCorrected and uncorrected distance visual acuity (5 m) and uncorrected and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (70 cm) were excellent, with no significant differences between 1 and 5 years after surgery. Uncorrected and distance-corrected near visual acuity (30 cm) remained lower. Contrast sensitivity was within the normal range at both 1 and 5 years. The percentage of patients who reported "never or hardly use spectacles" for far, intermediate, and near vision was 95.0%, 85.0%, and 35.0%, respectively. Glare and halo were slightly increased from 1 to 5 years after surgery, but the severity remained none or mild. All patients reported "very high" or "high" level of overall satisfaction. There were no notable postoperative complications.

conclusionsDuring 5 years after surgery, low-add-power segmented multifocal IOL maintained excellent distance and intermediate visual acuity as well as good contrast sensitivity. Glare and halo symptoms were mild, and patients' satisfaction level was high.
