Deciphering the best shape aspheric intraocular lens - A raytracing based optimisation study.
Article in Zeitschrift fur medizinische Physik, 2026. 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
purposeTo develop, implement and demonstrate a calculation strategy to derive the best shape spherical or aspherical intraocular lens (IOL) considering corneal spherical aberration (SA).
methodsThe simulation concept is based on 2D raytracing and involves an ideal plano or spherical wavefront with an optical path length correction which simulates corneal SA. The IOL defined with its equivalent power PIOL, Coddington shape factor (CSF) and edge thickness (ET) could be located with its secondary principal plane (PP2) or its haptic plane (HP) at the predicted axial lens position (ELP).The lens geometry is optimised for the root-mean-squared wavefront error (RMSWF) and the best wavefront and rayscatter focus are derived.
resultsThe custom simulation software package is written in Matlab (version 2024a). The applicability of the simulation software is shown with some examples to show the performance of the results. The simulation results are structured to give some insight into best shape spherical and aspheric lenses, the impact of CSF, corneal spherical aberration to be corrected, and the concept of using the ELP to predict either the PP2 or the HP of the lens.
conclusionsThe simulation tool seems to be very robust in optimising best shape spherical and aspherical lenses based on available data for corneal power and spherical aberration. In all examples the spherical aberrations were completely eliminated or reduced to a negligible amount using individually shaped biconvex aspheric IOLs. An implementation in an industrial manufacturing process of customised aspheric lenses and a clinical study are needed to validate the concept in a clinical setting.
