Lens Color and Macular Pigment Density after Cataract Surgery: A Randomized Clinical Trial.
Article in Ophthalmology science, 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
Objective: To investigate the relationship between macular pigment optical density (MPOD) and intraocular lens (IOL) color after cataract surgery. Design: A single-center subanalysis study of a randomized clinical trial (CLOCK-IOL color study). Participants: This study included patients who underwent cataract surgery at our hospital from July 1, 2014, to June 30, 2017, whose MPOD could be measured at least once after surgery. Interventions: Patients were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to either the yellow-tinted lens (TL) or clear lens (CL) groups. Main Outcome Measures: The primary outcome was the time-averaged difference in MPOD over time between the CL and yellow TL groups, up to 3 years postoperatively. Results: Overall, 155 patients (79 and 76 in CL and TL groups, respectively) were analyzed. At 1 year postoperatively, MPOD was significantly higher in the CL group than in the TL group (0.63 vs. 0.44; Conclusions: The CL group was associated with higher MPOD levels than the TL group over 3 years after cataract surgery. This suggests a more complex interaction between tinted IOL and macular pigment than previously recognized, warranting further investigation.
