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

purposeTo assess and compare 3-year visual and subjective outcomes after mix-and-match implantation of enhanced monofocal and trifocal or trifocal extended depth-of-focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses (IOLs).

settingDepartment of Ophthalmology and Optometry, Medical University of Vienna, Vienna, Austria.

designSingle-center, prospective, clinical trial.

methods50 patients (100 eyes) received bilateral cataract surgery with implantation of the enhanced monofocal Isopure IOL in the dominant eye and either the trifocal Finevision HP or trifocal EDOF Finevision Triumf IOL in the nondominant eye. At the 3-year examination, binocular uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), uncorrected intermediate visual acuity (UIVA) and uncorrected near visual acuity (UNVA), binocular defocus curves, halo/glare simulation, Catquest-9SF questionnaire, spectacle dependence, and Nd:YAG rate were evaluated.

results34 patients (68 eyes) were available at the 3-year follow-up examination. In the Isopure-HP group, binocular UDVA, UIVA (80 cm), UIVA (66 cm), and UNVA were -0.04 ± 0.10 (20/20) logMAR, 0.06 ± 0.07 (20/25) logMAR, 0.10 ± 0.08 (20/25) logMAR, and 0.17 ± 0.08 (20/32) logMAR, respectively. Corresponding values in the Isopure-Triumf group were 0.03 ± 0.11 (20/20) logMAR ( P = .08), 0.09 ± 0.10 (20/25) logMAR ( P = .40), 0.12 ± 0.11 (20/25) logMAR ( P = .56), and 0.27 ± 0.07 (20/40) ( P < .001). P values refer to the difference between both groups. Binocular defocus curves showed ≤0.2 logMAR visual acuities up to -3.0 diopters (D) (Isopure-HP) and -2.0 D (Isopure-Triumf). Halo, glare, and Catquest-9SF scores were comparable ( P > .05). Nd:YAG treatment was required in 15 (44%) of Isopure eyes, 2 (13%) of Finevision HP eyes, and 1 (6%) of Finevision Triumf eyes.

conclusionsCombined implantation of enhanced monofocal and trifocal/trifocal EDOF IOLs yields excellent distance and intermediate vision. Near visual acuity and spectacle independence was higher in the Isopure-HP group. Low incidence of photic phenomena and high patient satisfaction highlight the long-term effectiveness of both mix-and-match strategies.
