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

purposeTo study the visual results and tolerance of a Zeiss CT Lucia 601P intraocular lens (IOL) implanted in the sulcus after complicated cataract surgery or during IOL exchange for clouded IOL.

methodsIn total, 64 patients who underwent sulcus implantation were recalled to the hospital to undergo subjective and objective refraction, best corrected visual acuity measurement, tonometry, optical coherence tomography, laser flare photometry, biometry, and wavefront aberrometry.

resultsIn spite of a large variation in preoperative refraction, the target refraction was obtained within 1.5 diopters in approximately 97% of patients and within 0.5 diopter in 53% of patients. Average BCVA was high (Snellen 0.86) and related to concomitant (mostly retinal) pathologies in eyes with poorer visual performance. Wavefront aberrometry showed no evidence of IOL tilting or decentration after long-term implantation in the sulcus. Tonometry was not different from the fellow eye of the patient (p > 0.5). In 53 patients with bilateral pseudophakia, the laser flare photometry was not significantly different from the fellow eye (p < 0.05).

conclusionThis study demonstrates that this single-piece angulated foldable acrylic IOL can be considered for implantation in the sulcus. The visual results are favorable, and the IOL can be well-positioned and tolerated in the sulcus. Moreover, there were no safety issues found since there was no evidence of elevated IOP or chronic uveitis.
