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
Background: Refractive target of low simple myopic astigmatism allows increased depth-of-focus and near visual performance in monofocal intraocular lens (IOL) implants. This study investigated the effect of astigmatism and its axis on distance and near visual acuity (VA), and near visual performance for the Thai alphabet using the Thai MNREAD chart. Design: Investigational simulation. Methods: Distance (6.0 m) VA, near (40 cm) VA and near visual performance (maximum reading speed [MRS], threshold print size [TPS] and reading acuity [RA]), were assessed by the Thai MNREAD chart monocularly in 31 pseudophakic eyes (62.8 ± 8.55 years). Six refractive conditions were simulated using trial lenses: ±0.00 DS [in-focus at distance], +1.00 × 90 [ATR (Against-the-Rule)], +2.00 × 90 [ATR], +1.00 × 180 [WTR (With-the-Rule)], +2.00 × 180 [WTR], and +3.00 DS [in-focus at near]. Results: Distance VA was degraded by spherical and astigmatic defocus compared with +0.00 DS [in-focus (distance)] (p < 0.001). No significant difference in distance VA was found between ATR and WTR astigmatism at the same magnitude. Near VA was better with +3.00 DS (p-value < 0.001) compared with other refractive conditions. Near visual performance (threshold print size [TPS]) was significantly better in ATR compared with WTR astigmatism (p <0.001 for both +1.00 DC and 2.00 DC). Conclusion: Low simple myopic astigmatism improved near visual performance in monofocal IOL implants at the expense of degradation of distance VA. ATR astigmatism provided better TPS than WTR astigmatism. This benefit of ATR over WTR astigmatism on reading performance on the Thai alphabet confirmed the role of axis orientation on near visual performance.
