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 determine the objectively measurable amplitude of accommodation after implantation of an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL).

methodsWe used an open field autorefractor based on near infrared retinoscopy (PowerRef3, Plusoptix GmbH, Nuremberg, Germany) to determine the change in refraction, pupil diameter and gaze with decreasing distance of the visual stimulus. We compared the signal curves between a young healthy, a presbyopic and a pseudophakic patient as well as three patients implanted with the accommodative IOL Lumina (AMIPLANT GmbH, Schnaittach, Germany).

resultsThe refraction, pupil, and gaze curves exhibit the behavior that are expected from theory. The accommodative IOL shows similar curves as the young phakic person, showing that there is a dynamic change in refraction. This is supported by the three-year follow-up data of a patient providing an uncorrected binocular far VA of 1.0 and near visual acuity of 0.8.

conclusionThe PowerRef3 is capable of measuring the accommodative amplitude of an accommodative IOL. The Lumina shows a accommodative amplitude of up to 2 D and excellent far and near vision in a patient three years after implantation.
