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

Purpose: Anterior iris-claw phakic intraocular lens (pIOL) implantation is a treatment option for refractive, ametropic patients. However, the postoperative accommodative ability has not been systematically researched. Dynamic stimulation aberrometry allows the objective and dynamical measurement of accommodation by observing ocular aberrations during the accommodation process. We investigated the dynamic accommodative ability after pIOL implantation compared with a healthy age- and gender-matched control group. Design: Clinical, comparative case-control study. Subjects: We included patients aged 18-50 years that either underwent pIOL implantation > 1 month ago or served as a healthy, phakic control group. Methods: The accommodative ability and pupil dynamics of both groups were investigated using dynamic stimulation aberrometry. The method allows the analysis of dynamic parameters during accommodation, such as the accommodation speed. A 1:1 propensity score matching was conducted based on the patients' age and gender. Main Outcome Measures: Parameters of objective accommodation, such as accommodative amplitude and pupil dynamic during accommodation. Results: Fifty-eight healthy, phakic eyes < 50 years of age and 21 eyes after pIOL implantation to correct myopia (pIOL, Verisyse, AMO, Inc) were enrolled. Patients that underwent anterior pIOL implantation were examined on average 24 ± 18 months after surgery. After matching, the mean age of both groups was not significantly different (35 ± 8 vs. 34 ± 8 years). No significant difference in dynamic parameters of accommodation or the accommodative amplitude (2.8 ± 1.4 and 2.9 ± 1.4 diopters [D] for pIOL and control group, Conclusions: Dynamic stimulation aberrometry allowed the objective, dynamic, measurement of wavefronts in subjects with accommodative amplitudes up to 7 D. Phakic intraocular lens implantation does not impair the accommodative ability. It alters pupil dynamics during deaccommodation.
