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

Purpose: To assess and validate rotational stability and visual outcomes data of the CNWTTx (Clareon Methods: In this prospective, single-centre, real-world, confirmatory study, CNWTTx was implanted in 40 eyes from 22 patients that underwent bilateral routine phacoemulsification. Manifest refraction, uncorrected vision at distance (UDVA), intermediate (UIVA) and near at 40 cm (N-40) and 33 cm (N-33) were measured at 4-6 weeks and 12-weeks postoperatively. Quality of vision was assessed using the Near Acuity Visual Questionnaire (NAVQ), stereoacuity and contrast sensitivity (CS). Toric alignment was primarily measured using slit lamp examination at 1 hour, 1 week, 4-6 weeks and 12 weeks postoperatively. Rotational stability was assessed by measuring change in toric alignment from target axis at each time point. iTrace was used as an exploratory method of assessing IOL rotation. Results: Mean absolute and actual rotation at 12 weeks was 3.4° and -1.3°, respectively, with 85% of eyes achieving ≤5° of rotation. Monocular uncorrected visual acuity was 0.06 ± 0.09, 0.1 ± 0.14, 0.13 ± 0.11 and 0.14 ± 0.11 LogMAR at 6 m, 60 cm, 40 cm and 33 cm, respectively. Postoperative spherical equivalent at 12 weeks was -0.15 ± 0.28 D. NAVQ score increased significantly following surgery, and contrast sensitivity and stereoacuity were well maintained compared to age-normal values. Conclusion: Accurate visual and refractive outcomes were achieved with CNWTTx in this cohort, and the lens remained stable from 1 week following implantation. This was consistent with the high patient-reported satisfaction despite visual phenomena inherent to diffractive IOLs. However, the percentage of eyes achieving ≤5° of rotation within this cohort was 5% lower than the ANSI Z80.30 standard, which was likely due to the small sample size of this study. Future studies with larger sample size are warranted to fully ascertain the lens' performance against the ANSI Z80.30 benchmark.
