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
Purpose: To analyze and compare functional and refractive postoperative outcomes of a low-addition refractive bifocal intraocular lenses (IOL) and its toric version at 1 month. Settings: Desgenettes Military Hospital, Lyon. Design: Single-center retrospective study. Methods: This study included 316 eyes of patients who underwent bilateral phacoemulsification with implantation of either the standard IOL, the Comfort LS-313 MF15 (n=245, group 1) or its toric version, the Comfort LS-313 MF15T (n=71, group 2). Patients were evaluated at 7 days and 1 month postoperatively to measure uncorrected and corrected distance (UDVA and CDVA), uncorrected intermediate (UIVA), and near (UNVA) visual acuity at 4 meters, 60 cm and 40 cm. Spectacle independence and photic phenomena were assessed using a modified McAlinden questionnaire. Results: At one month, both groups had similar mean UDVA (0.004 vs 0.02 logMAR; p=0.063). UIVA (0.12 vs 0.17 logMAR; p=0.783) and UNVA (0.34 vs 0.3 logMAR; p=0.292) were also comparable. CDVA was excellent (-0.009 vs -0.02 logMAR; p=0.348). The toric IOL significantly reduced residual astigmatism (p<0.01), with a mean of 0.23±0.34 D. Photic phenomena were minimal (score: 2.17), with no severe effects. Twenty-five patients responded to the questionnaire, 56% of them reported total or high spectacle independence. Conclusion: The low-addition refractive bifocal IOL and its toric version provide effective refractive correction, ensuring excellent UDVA and satisfactory UIVA. The toric model yields comparable outcomes to the non-toric version, with the added benefit of improved control of preoperative astigmatism. The refractive performance of the toric model remained consistent regardless of the axis of implantation and the position of the low addition segment. These findings demonstrate satisfactory functional outcomes, though validation in larger prospective studies with objective optical quality assessments is needed.
