Improving the performance of multifocal diffractive lens designs by adding a peripheral piston.

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
Peripheral piston modulation in diffractive multifocal lenses suggests potential improvements in distance vision quality. Five lens designs-bifocal (BF), bifocal with piston (BFP), trifocal (TF), trifocal with piston (TFP), and a commercial refractive (RCN)-were compared using an adaptive optics visual simulator. Optical simulations revealed enhanced optical quality for distant objects with peripheral pistons, without compromising near vision. Visual performance and quality were assessed in eight cycloplegic young subjects. The peripheral piston was associated with trends toward improved high- and low-contrast visual acuity and visual preference scores at distance, suggesting functional and perceptual benefits over non-piston designs.
