The personality factor in premium IOLs selection: quantifying Myers-Briggs personality types influence among cataract surgeons.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Background: Phacoemulsification with intraocular lens (IOL) implantation is the standard treatment for cataracts. The surgeon's personality may influence IOL selection. Understanding whether Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) personality profiles affect IOL selection accuracy and preferences can enhance patient satisfaction. Therefore, this retrospective single-center, cross-sectional study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of IOL selection among cataract surgeons with different MBTI personality profiles and assess whether personality traits influence IOL preferences. Methods: A total of 50 cataract surgeons with different personality profiles were involved to select IOL for 43 patients based on collected preoperative data. Surgeons' MBTI profiles were assessed, and their IOL selections were compared against clinical recommendations. Accuracy was analyzed across MBTI dichotomies (e.g., Extraversion/Introversion) and subtypes. Bland-Altman and consistency analyses evaluated preferences and agreement. Ocular biometric and comorbidity data were included. Results: No significant differences were found in IOL selection accuracy across the four MBTI dichotomous categories ( Conclusion: While MBTI personality profiles influenced IOL selection preferences, they did not significantly impact the precision of IOL decision-making. Clinical practice guidelines for IOL selection should be validated further, and MBTI could serve as a predictor for understanding surgeons' IOL preferences. These findings suggest that IOL type preferences may vary among surgeons, which can help guide patients in choosing surgeons aligned with their specific needs.
