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

This retrospective study compares postoperative visual outcomes among 150 eyes treated with Light-Adjustable Lenses (LAL), toric monofocal lenses, and spherical monofocal lenses at Discover Vision Centers in Missouri and Kansas. The study included individuals with an average age of 68.9 years (25-82 years) who had cataract extraction (CE) within the past five years. Patients with prior corneal refractive procedures, including Radial Keratotomy (RK), Photorefractive Keratectomy (PRK), Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis (LASIK) or Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) were excluded. Sixty-four percent of eyes with LALs achieved uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCDVA) better than 20/20 after the final lock-in, 46.0% with toric monofocal lenses, and 32.0% with spherical monofocal lenses. LAL-treated eyes also showed lowest residual refractive error, with a final mean spherical equivalent of 0.0 ± 0.353D, outperforming toric (0.08 ± 0.386D) and spherical monofocal lenses (0.20 ± 0.631D). These results suggest that LALs offer superior outcomes, though further research is warranted.
