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
BACKGROUND/
aimsTo assess binocular visual performance, visual acuity at different contrast levels and visual disturbances in patients with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) undergoing bilateral cataract surgery with the placement of wavefront-shaping partial-range of field-extend (PROF-Ex) intraocular lens (IOL).
designProspective, descriptive, single-arm study with 3 months of follow-up.
methodsPatients diagnosed with bilateral early-to-moderate POAG were included and underwent cataract surgery with implantation of a PROF-Ex IOL (AcrySof IQ Vivity, Alcon Healthcare) bilaterally. Postoperative outcomes were measured in binocular conditions for visual acuity (uncorrected and corrected at varying distances and contrast levels), contrast sensitivity and visual disturbances assessed through light distortion analysis in terms of the light distortion index (LDI) and best-fit circle radius.
results27 patients were included, with a mean age of 74.2±8.1 years. Three months after surgery, binocular corrected visual acuities at 100% contrast were -0.01±0.06, 0.11±0.08 and 0.26±0.13 LogMAR for far, intermediate and near distance vision, respectively. Those at 25% contrast were 0.57±0.11 and 0.65±0.12 LogMAR for intermediate and near distance vision, respectively. The mean binocular contrast sensitivity was 1.63±0.11, and the mean LDI was 13.28±7.06. No significant adverse events were recorded.
conclusionsThe wavefront-shaping PROF-Ex IOL technology shows positive outcomes in terms of visual acuity, contrast sensitivity and visual disturbances for patients with bilateral early-to-moderate POAG. Thus, wavefront-shaping PROF-Ex technology lenses can be a viable and effective option for patients with POAG seeking spectacle independence.
