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 investigate the 3-month outcomes of visual performance and satisfaction of patients with high myopia after implantation of trifocal intraocular lens (IOL).

settingArmy Medical Center of PLA, Chongqing, China.

designRetrospective case series.

methodsPatients were divided to 2 groups according to the spherical equivalent (SEQ) (high myopia ≤-6.0 diopters [D] and nonhigh myopia >-6.0 D). Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) at 5 m, uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) at 60 cm, uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA) at 40 cm, defocus curve, refraction, visual quality, and satisfaction were compared at 3 months postoperatively.

resultsOf 57 patients (89 eyes) enrolled, 32 eyes (36%) were highly myopic and 57 eyes (64%) were nonhighly myopic. At 3 months, both groups exhibited smooth defocus curves, with better visual acuity at 0 D, -0.5 D, and -2.0 D. Mean SEQ was -0.19 (-0.25, 0.00) D and 0.00 (-0.25, 0.00) D in the highly myopic and nonhighly myopic groups, respectively, with no significant difference ( P = .34). There were no significant differences between the 2 groups in CDVA, UDVA, UIVA, UNVA, spectacle independence, or satisfaction ( P > .05). Higher-order aberrations (HOAs) and trefoil aberration were greater in the highly myopic group ( P < .05).

conclusionsTrifocal IOL implantation provides satisfactory full-range visual acuity on the premise of no complications, with a spectacle independence rate of more than 90%. Although HOAs and trefoil aberration were greater in patients with high myopia, they achieve comparable visual acuity and spectacle independence rates, with a high satisfaction.
