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 present a case of a pediatric patient with infantile cataract, which was treated with lens extraction surgery and bilateral implantation of an extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lens (IOL).
methodsA 13-year-old boy with bilateral lamellar cataract underwent standard phacoemulsification and bilateral implantation of a toric, non-diffractive EDOF IOL. Preoperative assessment included biometry, keratometry, and visual acuity testing. Postoperative follow-up included refraction, defocus curve, contrast sensitivity, and patient-reported outcomes.
resultsAfter a follow-up of three months uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity on both eyes was 0.1 logMAR. Uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (80 cm) was 0.2 logMAR (left eye) and 0.1 logMAR (right eye), while uncorrected near visual acuity (40 cm) was 0.5 logMAR (left eye) and 0.4 logMAR (right eye). The contrast sensitivity using Pelli Robson charts shows good results of 1.85 for both eyes. The patient indicated very low values concerning optical phenomena and was very satisfied. The patient reported that he occasionally uses reading glasses in close proximity.
conclusionsBilateral implantation of a non-diffractive EDoF IOL resulted in high patient satisfaction with spectacle independence for distance and intermediate vision with an insignificant level of photic phenomena. The EDOF IOL appears to be a viable option for older pediatric patients undergoing cataract surgery.
