Inverted meniscus IOLs reduce image shifts in the periphery compared to biconvex IOLs.
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 2 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
Intraocular lenses (IOLs) are routinely used to replace cataractous crystalline lenses. Most current models have a biconvex design that reduces optical quality in the periphery since they are optimized only for central vision. Inverted meniscus IOLs are optimized to achieve similar optical performance to phakic eyes in the peripheral retina. Additionally, biconvex IOLs have been predicted to induce image shifts in the peripheral visual field. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether inverted meniscus IOLs produce a more consistent object-to-image mapping on the retina. For this purpose, retinal images before and after IOL implantation were recorded in subjects implanted with either standard biconvex or inverted meniscus IOLs, and the positions of landmarks were compared. The results showed that radial displacement of retinal landmarks increased with eccentricity in biconvex IOLs, as expected, but tended to have a flatter progression with smaller values in patients implanted with inverted meniscus lenses.
