Inverted meniscus intraocular lens as a better optical surrogate of the crystalline lens.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Current intraocular lenses (IOLs) are designed to substitute the cataractous crystalline lens, optimizing focus at the fovea. However, the common biconvex design overlooks off-axis performance, leading to a reduced optical quality in the periphery of the retina in pseudophakic patients compared to the normal phakic eye. In this work, we designed an IOL to provide better peripheral optical quality, closer in that respect to the natural lens, using ray-tracing simulations in eye models. The resulting design was a concave-convex inverted meniscus IOL with aspheric surfaces. The curvature radius of the posterior surface was smaller than that of the anterior surface by a factor that depended on the IOL power. The lenses were manufactured and evaluated in a custom-built artificial eye. Images of a point source and of extended targets were directly recorded at various field angles with both standard and the new IOLs. This type of IOL produces superior image quality in the whole visual field, being a better surrogate for the crystalline lens than the commonly used thin biconvex intraocular lenses.
