Binocular visual function of Japanese eyes with nondiffractive extended depth-of-focus intraocular lenses made of high water-content hydrophobic acrylic material.

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 prospectively evaluate bilateral visual function in Japanese patients implanted with nondiffractive extended depth-of-focus (EDoF) intraocular lenses (IOLs). STUDY
designMultisite prospective observational study. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study included 48 eyes of 24 Japanese patients with cataracts (mean age: 68.7 ± 9.2 years) who underwent bilateral implantation of nondiffractive EDoF IOLs CNAET0 (Clareon Vivity, Alcon), made of high-water-content hydrophobic acrylic material. Three months postoperatively, binocular uncorrected and distance-corrected visual acuities (BUCVA and BDCVA) were assessed at far, 66 cm, and 40 cm. Binocular photopic contrast sensitivity (CSV-1000), binocular defocus curves, spectacle independence, and photic phenomena (glare, halo, starburst, and waxy vision) were also assessed.
resultsThe mean logMAR BUCVA/BDCVA was -0.11/-0.15 at far, 0.05/0.08 at 66 cm, and 0.18/0.22 at 40 cm. Binocular contrast sensitivity was within the normal range for individuals aged 60-69 years across all spatial frequencies. The mean defocus curve demonstrated 0.1 logMAR or better between -2.0 and +1.0 D addition, with better performance of 0.0 logMAR or better between -1.5 and +0.5 D addition. All patients were spectacle-independent for distance and intermediate vision, whereas nine of the 24 patients (37.5%) required spectacles for near vision. None of the patients reported severe photic phenomena; 17 patients (70.8%) did not experience glare or starburst, and 20 patients (83.3%) did not report halo or waxy vision.
conclusionBilateral implantation of nondiffractive EDoF IOLs provided good binocular functional vision from far to near, although some patients may require spectacles for near vision. The photic phenomenon was minimal.
