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
purposeTo investigate the effect of low-to-moderate astigmatism magnitude, axis orientation and pupil size on distance and intermediate visual acuity with two enhanced monofocal intraocular lenses (IOL) using adaptive optics simulation.
methodsThis prospective, observational, within-subject comparative study included 24 presbyopic participants aged 50-69 years. Two enhanced monofocal IOLs (RayOne EMV and Tecnis Eyhance) were simulated using the SimVis Gekko adaptive optics visual simulator over the manifest distance refraction. Corrected-distance visual acuity (CDVA, 4 m) and distance-corrected intermediate visual acuity (DCIVA, 60 cm) were measured at baseline and with induced simple hyperopic astigmatism (+0.50, +1.00 and +1.50 D) at against-the-rule (ATR) and with-the-rule (WTR). Simulated pupil diameter was 3.0 mm for distance and 3.0 and 4.0 mm for intermediate vision. Visual acuity degradation relative to baseline (ΔVA) was analysed separately for both distances using linear mixed-effects models including IOL, astigmatism magnitude, axis orientation and pupil diameter as fixed effects. Significant IOL effects were explored using Holm-adjusted pairwise comparisons.
resultsAt a far distance, baseline CDVA was similar between IOLs (p = 0.79) and ΔVA increased significantly with astigmatic magnitude (p < 0.001), being greater for WTR than ATR astigmatism (p < 0.001), with no significant IOL effect. Baseline DCIVA differed between IOLs and pupil size (both p < 0.001), with Eyhance showing better VA with a 3.0 mm pupil (p < 0.001). ΔVA increased with astigmatism magnitude (p < 0.001), axis orientation (p < 0.001) and pupil diameter (p < 0.001), with no significant differences between IOLs (p = 0.50).
conclusionWith simulated enhanced monofocal IOLs, VA deteriorates progressively with increasing hyperopic astigmatism at both distance and intermediate vision, with cylinder magnitude as the main determinant. Axis orientation and pupil diameter further modulate intermediate visual performance, while astigmatic tolerance remains comparable between RayOne EMV and Tecnis Eyhance across all tested conditions.
