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

purposeThis study aimed to compare the effects of trifocal (TF) and monofocal intraocular lenses (Mono-IOL) on microperimetry outcomes in patients who underwent uncomplicated cataract surgery.

methodsA total of 44 Mono-IOL and 38 TF-IOL recipients were evaluated six months postoperatively. Corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) was assessed using a standard logMAR chart. Microperimetry assessments were performed using the MP-1 microperimeter to measure retinal sensitivity (RS) at 2°, 6°, and 10°, fixation points (FP) within 2° and 4°; and fixation stability. Fixation stability was quantified using the Bivariate Contour Ellipse Area (BCEA). Contrast sensitivity was assessed separately using the Pelli-Robson chart.

resultsThe Mono-IOL group exhibited significantly higher CS (1.80 ± 0.10 vs. 1.70 ± 0.11, p < 0.01) and better CDVA (p = 0.044). Retinal sensitivity was also greater at RS-2° (p = 0.036), RS-6° (p = 0.014), and RS-10° (p = 0.01). Fixation stability was better in the Mono-IOL group, with significantly smaller BCEA values at 1SD (1292 ± 1128 vs. 2027 ± 1637 min arc

conclusionMono-IOLs provided superior contrast sensitivity, retinal sensitivity, and fixation stability compared to TF-IOLs, indicating better postoperative visual function.
