Bilateral implantation of extended depth of focus intraocular lens in patients with early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2026. 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
purposeTo evaluate the visual outcomes, dysphotopsia profile, and patient satisfaction following bilateral implantation of the AcrySof IQ Vivity intraocular lens (IOL) in patients with early or intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
methodsProspective, single-center study. 24 patients (48 eyes) with bilateral cataract and early or intermediate AMD who underwent bilateral implantation of the AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL. The primary outcome was monocular corrected distance visual acuity (mCDVA). Secondary endpoints were distance-corrected and unaided monocular and binocular visual acuity at 4 m, 66 cm, and 40 cm, monocular defocus curve, subjective dysphotopsia (McAlinden QoV questionnaire) and haloes perception (Aston Halometer), visual function (Catquest-9SF), and spectacle independence (IOLSAT).
resultsAt 3 months postoperatively, mCDVA improved significantly from 0.30 to 0.00 logMAR (p < 0.001). Binocular uncorrected distance and intermediate visual acuities of ≤ 0.2 logMAR were achieved by 23 (95.8%) and 17 (70.8%) patients, respectively. The defocus curve showed visual acuity of 0.2 logMAR across a range of + 1.40 D to -1.72 D. Bothersome dysphotopsias significantly decreased, with QoV scores improving from 58.5 (IQR: 26.1-66.5) to 0.00 (IQR: 0.00-14.3) (p < 0.05). The mean halo eccentricity was 0.50 ± 0.08 degrees. Spectacle independence was reported by 22 (91.7%), 20 (83.3%), and 13 (54.2%) patients for distance, intermediate, and near tasks, respectively. Overall, 22 (91.7%) patients reported postoperative satisfaction.
conclusionThe AcrySof IQ Vivity IOL demonstrated favourable outcomes in patients with early or intermediate AMD, offering a meaningful range of spectacle-free vision with minimal photic phenomena.
