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 compare the improvements in all-distance visual acuity (VA) and contrast sensitivity early after cataract surgery among eyes implanted with multifocal and monofocal intraocular lenses (IOLs). STUDY

designNonrandomized comparative study.

methodsForty-two eyes with a trifocal IOL (Alcon, PanOptix

resultsMean uncorrected as well as corrected VA improved significantly between 1 day and 3 months postoperatively at almost all distances in the trifocal and combined bifocal + EDF groups (P ≤ 0.018), and at the intermediate distance of 1.0 m and far distances in the monofocal group (P ≤ 0.031). Mean improvements in near uncorrected VA at 0.3 m, intermediate VA at 0.5 m, and far VA at 2.0, 3.0, and 5.0 m were significantly greater in the multifocal groups than in the monofocal group (P ≤ 0.032). Improvements in photopic and mesopic contrast VA at most contrasts were significantly better in the multifocal groups (P ≤ 0.021).

conclusionMean uncorrected or corrected VA at almost all distances and contrast sensitivity at most contrasts improved significantly early after surgery in eyes implanted with multifocal IOLs, and the improvements in VA at most distances and in contrast sensitivity were better with multifocal IOLs than with monofocal IOLs.
