Rotational stability of two toric intraocular lenses with different design: a retrospective comparative study.

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
backgroundRotational stability is a critical determinant of the refractive performance of toric intraocular lenses (IOLs), as even small degrees of postoperative rotation may compromise astigmatic correction. This study aimed to compare the rotational stability of two toric IOLs with different designs.
methodsA retrospective comparative study was conducted including eyes that underwent cataract surgery with implantation of either a monofocal toric Ankoris IOL or a TECNIS ZCT toric IOL. Postoperative IOL rotation was evaluated at 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after surgery. Rotational stability was assessed using the absolute value of rotation, regardless of direction. Secondary outcomes included the proportion of eyes with clinically significant rotation (> 10°) and the need for surgical repositioning. Statistical analyses were performed according to data distribution.
resultsA total of 61 eyes were included, with 31 eyes in the Ankoris group and 30 eyes in the TECNIS ZCT group. At 1 month postoperatively, the Ankoris group showed a significantly greater absolute rotation compared with the TECNIS ZCT group (median 4° [IQR 3-8] vs. 3° [IQR 2-3], p = 0.047). Both IOLs demonstrated a tendency toward progressive stabilization over time; however, the TECNIS ZCT lens exhibited lower rotational variability at all evaluated time points. The proportion of eyes with rotation greater than 10° was low in both groups, with no statistically significant difference. Surgical repositioning was required in two eyes (6.5%) in the Ankoris group and in none of the TECNIS ZCT group (p = 0.49).
conclusionsBoth toric IOLs demonstrated clinically acceptable rotational stability during the first postoperative month. Among eyes demonstrating measurable postoperative rotation, the TECNIS ZCT lens exhibited lower rotational magnitude and less variability compared with the Ankoris lens, which may be clinically relevant when selecting toric IOLs for astigmatism correction.
