Evaluation of optical power integrity in toric and multifocal intraocular lenses.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundImplanting an intraocular lens (IOL) with an appropriate dioptric power is critical for achieving high-quality visual outcomes after cataract surgery. Discrepancies between labeled and actual dioptric power may affect IOLs selection and compromise refractive accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate the agreement between labeled and actual dioptric powers of commercially available toric and multifocal IOLs.
methodsSpherical and cylindrical powers of toric IOLs, and spherical and additive powers of multifocal IOLs, were measured via an optical bench system based on the magnification method. Measured values were assessed for compliance with International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 11979-2 tolerance limits via two one-sided t-tests(TOST).
resultsAll three toric IOLs satisfied the ISO tolerance criteria for both spherical and cylindrical power (p < 0.05), with errors of 0.208 ± 0.170 D and 0.172 ± 0.206 D, respectively. The average absolute deviation across all toric measurements was 0.137 D. All four multifocal IOLs also met the ISO tolerance criteria for spherical and addition power (p < 0.05), with errors of 0.069 ± 0.041 D and 0.045 ± 0.044 D, respectively. The average absolute deviation in the multifocal group was 0.057 D.
conclusionsThese results confirm that both toric and multifocal IOLs comply with ISO standards for labeling accuracy. However, the greater variability observed in toric lenses highlights the importance of rotational alignment and precise manufacturing, which are critical for successful astigmatic correction.
