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
backgroundDysfunctional lens index (DLI) changing is rarely reported after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation. In the current research, we hope to investigate the changes of DLI by ray-tracing aberrometry before and after implantation of the posterior chamber phakic implantable collamer lens with a central artificial hole for patients with moderate-to-high myopia.
methodsThis retrospective, observational case series included 206 eyes of 104 patients with moderate-to-high myopia who underwent ICL V4c implantation. Data were collected on ocular indicators preoperatively and at 1 day, 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively. The i-Trace Visual Functional Analyzer was used to assess the DLI measurement.
resultsThe overall values of safety index and efficacy index were both more than 1. Preoperatively, the mean spherical equivalent (SE) of included 206 eyes was - 10.77 ± 3.46 diopter (D). Then at 1-day postoperation, the mean SE was - 0.22 ± 0.55 D, and barely changed from 1 day to 6 months postoperatively. Although the endothelial parameters had no significant differences between preoperation and postoperation, the mean loss of endothelial cells was 0.74 ± 0.98% at 6 months. Regarding the vault, there was a significant difference between each time of follow-up (P < 0.001). The mean of the vault decreased 109.6 ± 13.5 µm from 1-day post-op to 6 months post-op. The DLI values were 3.70, 9.26, 10.00, and 9.68 at baseline, 1, 3, and 6 months, respectively (P < 0.001), but no significant differences were found between 1, 3, and 6 months postoperatively (P > 0.05). The preoperative lnDLI showed a significant positive linear correlation (r = 0.621, P < 0.001) with the preoperative spherical equivalent (SE). The lnDLI was negatively correlated with the axial length (r = - 0.462, P < 0.001), corneal thickness (r = - 0.207, P = 0.003), preoperative LogMAR UDVA (r = - 0.189, P = 0.006), and preoperative LogMAR CDVA (r = - 0.306, P < 0.001).
conclusionsThe postoperative refractive parameters were confirmed excellent in efficacy, predictability, and stability in half a year. The DLI was significantly improved after the ICL V4c implantation in patients with moderate-to-high myopia and showed good stability during the follow-up periods. The DLI deserves a more comprehensive understanding and application in clinical services.
