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

purposeTo compare visual and refractive outcomes and monocular defocus performance between the Isopure 1.2.3 (ISP; PhysIOL, Liège, Belgium) and the TECNIS Eyhance ICB00 (EH; J&J Vision, Santa Ana, CA, USA) intraocular lenses (IOLs).

methodsEyes undergoing uncomplicated cataract surgery with either ISP or EH were reviewed. Preoperative characteristics, postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), intermediate VA at 66 cm, near VA at 40 cm, refractive outcomes, and monocular defocus curves were evaluated 3 months after surgery.

resultsA total of 69 eyes from 51 patients were included (ISP: 31 eyes from 22 patients; EH: 38 eyes from 29 patients). The mean age was comparable between groups (ISP: 64.8 ± 9.0 years; EH: 64.7 ± 8.1 years). Preoperative parameters showed no relevant differences between the two groups. Distance, intermediate, and near VAs, as well as refractive predictability indices did not differ significantly between groups. Both IOLs showed an enhanced monofocal defocus profile, but EH demonstrated a flatter VA decline in the near-defocus range, resulting in better functional near performance.

conclusionISP and EH provided comparable distance, intermediate, and near VA and similar refractive predictability. EH demonstrated better functional near vision in the near-defocus range.
