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

Purpose: To elucidate the impact of mild PCO on the visual outcomes in patients with hydrophilic trifocal IOLs, and to identify objective indicators that can assist in determining the need for Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Methods: This is a prospective observational study. 189 patients implanted trifocal IOL who underwent Nd:YAG laser posterior capsulotomy were recruited. Patients were classified into four grades according to PCO morphology. The distance, intermediate, and near visual acuity (VA), dysfunction lens index (DLI), contrast sensitivity (CS) and visual function (VF-14) scores were measured before and 1 month after Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy. Results: Before Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy, a significant correlation was observed between PCO grading and uncorrected distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA), near (UNVA) visual acuity, corrected distance VA (CDVA), DLI, and VF-14 scores (All Conclusions: Mild PCO initially impairs near visual acuity in patients with trifocal IOLs and concurrently diminishes both subjective and objective of visual quality. The DLI can serve as an auxiliary diagnostic indicator to assess whether patients with mild PCO may benefit from Nd:YAG laser capsulotomy.
