Ungraded means an effect was reported without a GRADE rating; it is not a gap. No studies means the review found nothing to answer the question. The six categories are a display order, not a score.
Questions and results
Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) compared to round‐edged IOL for the prevention of posterior capsule opacification after cataract surgery
Population: people undergoing cataract surgery
| Outcome | Effect | Evidence | Status / GRADE |
|---|---|---|---|
Nd:YAG capsulotomy at one year Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) vs round‐edged IOL | OR 0.3 [0.05, 1.74] | 6 studies · 742 participants | Low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Posterior capsule opacification score at one year As measured by AQUA score, Evaluation of PCO (EPCO) score and other methods of quantifying PCO Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) vs round‐edged IOL | no estimate extracted | 10 studies · 10 participants | Moderate Downgraded: risk of bias |
BCDVA at one year, measured using logMAR score (range ‐0.3 to 1.3, low scores = better vision, a score of 0 is equivalent to 6/6 or 20/20 vision) Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) vs round‐edged IOL | no estimate extracted | 2 studies · 153 participants | Low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
Quality of life Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) vs round‐edged IOL | no estimate extracted | NR | No studies |
Adverse effects Sharp‐edged intraocular lens (IOL) vs round‐edged IOL | no estimate extracted | NR | Very low Downgraded: risk of bias, imprecision |
