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

Purpose: Several studies have suggested that blue-light filtering (BLF) can enhance the perception of brightness. Evidence for this effect, however, in pseudophakic patients, particularly using natural images, is lacking. The present study tested whether a common BLF spectral profile, often used in intraocular lens (IOL) designs, would influence brightness perception of natural images in pseudophakic individuals. Methods: Forty pseudophakic participants ( Results: Averaged across all images, the clear lens ( Conclusions: The BLF produced a significant and consistent increase in perceived brightness in pseudophakic adults. These findings provide direct psychophysical evidence that clinically relevant BLF profiles can influence brightness under natural viewing conditions. Information of this type is necessary for the evaluation of BLF IOL designs and their effects on functional visual experiences following cataract surgery.
