Predicted Visual Impact of a Small Aperture Intraocular Lens in Reducing Higher Order Aberrations in Post-Radial Keratotomy Patients.
Article in Vision (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. 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
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential impact of small aperture optics on corneal aberrations in post-RK patients. Preoperative data was evaluated from 32 eyes of 23 post-RK patients. Scheimpflug tomography was used to obtain measurements of corneal HOAs at 6-mm, 4-mm, and 2-mm corneal plane aperture diameters. The data was extrapolated using a non-linear fit to estimate HOAs that would be obtained with the 1.6 mm effective pinhole IOL aperture at the corneal plane for individual patients. The average RMS HOAs estimated for the 1.6 mm aperture was 0.063 ± 0.015 μm compared to 0.185 ± 0.029 μm for the natural pupil size. A postoperative RK case with an IC-8
