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
Objectives: The study aimed to evaluate the occurrence and intensity of positive and negative dysphotopsias in patients with different intraocular lens (IOL) positions - vertical, horizontal, superonasal, and inferonasal - and to determine whether IOL position correlates positive or negative dysphotopsias. Methods: This prospective cohort study included 80 patients, divided into four equal groups based on IOL positioning. Each group received a monofocal hydrophobic acrylic IOL during ultrasound phacoemulsification cataract surgery. Patients with horizontally placed IOL served as the control group. In each group, there were twenty participants. Clinical assessments, including visual acuity and biometry measurements, were recorded preoperatively and 1 month postoperatively. Post-surgery, patients completed a questionnaire evaluating the presence and severity of dysphotopsias. Results: Positive dysphotopsia was reported by 26.3% of patients, with no significant difference among the groups (Fisher's exact test, p=0.63). Negative dysphotopsia appeared in 11.3% of patients, significantly more frequent in those with superonasal and inferonasal IOL positions (Fisher's exact test, p=0.01). Regarding the IOL location, there was no discernible difference in the severity of positive (Kruskal-Wallis test, p=0.33) and negative (Kruskal-Wallis test, p=0.23) dysphotopsias among patients who were experiencing them. Postoperatively, all patients demonstrated improved visual acuity, anterior chamber depth, and axial length measurements. Conclusion: The study found a significant association between IOL position and the incidence of negative dysphotopsia, especially with inferonasal and superonasal placements. However, the IOL position did not influence the intensity of either positive or negative dysphotopsia. This implies that post-surgery negative dysphotopsia perception is influenced by lens location. Patient satisfaction remained high, though negative dysphotopsia intensity negatively correlated with satisfaction scores.
