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

Extended depth of focus (EDoF) intraocular lenses allow cataract and refractive-lens-exchange patients to have improved vision at an intermediate distance. Two EDoF lenses, Clareon Vivity and Tecnis PureSee, were evaluated for optical quality using the OptiSpheric IOL Pro2 according to ISO 11979-2 guidelines and measured using Modulation Transfer Function (MTF) and 1951 USAF resolution test chart at 3.0- and 4.5-mm apertures. The IOLs' tolerance to 0.50 mm decentration and a 5° tilt were tested. The unwanted visual effects were compared using their light distribution at 4.5 mm aperture beyond a polychromatic point spread function center. The two models demonstrated comparable optical qualities at intermediate and far focuses; the predicted visual acuities for the Vivity and PureSee were respectively - 0.04 versus - 0.05logMAR at 0 diopter and 0.05 versus 0.07logMAR at - 1.50 diopters of defocus. Increasing pupil size decreased both lenses' optical quality. While decentration decreased the optical quality of both models, tilt had less of an effect. Both were similar in introducing minimal unwanted side effects through visualizing a halo pattern. The results indicate that these lenses offer a good option for patients interested in EDoF lenses and future clinical studies should contribute further insight into their performance and side effects.
