Theoretical impact of chromatic aberration correction on visual acuity.
Article in Biomedical optics express, 2024. 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
It has been known for more than 220 years that the image quality of the human eye is significantly degraded by chromatic aberrations. Recently, it was shown experimentally that correcting chromatic aberrations results in a 0.2- to 0.8-line improvement in visual acuity. Here we ask, is this expected? We developed tools that enable simulations of the optical impact of physiologically relevant amounts of chromatic aberration in real human eyes and combined these with tools that compute the visual acuity of an ideal observer. This allows us to characterize the theoretical impact of chromatic aberration correction on visual acuity. Results indicate a substantive improvement of 0.4- to 2-lines in ideal observer visual acuity with chromatic aberration correction. Ideal observer thresholds benefit significantly more from correction of longitudinal than correction of transverse chromatic aberration. Finally, improvements in ideal observer visual acuity are greater for subjects with less monochromatic aberration, such that subjects with better baseline optical quality benefit most from correction of chromatic aberrations.
