Pentacam could be a useful tool for evaluating and qualifying the anterior chamber morphology.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
objectiveThis study aims to investigate the changes of anterior chamber morphology after laser peripheral iridotomy (LPI) in primary angle-closure (PAC) patients using Pentacam.
methods35 normal persons and 35 patients of PAC before and 1 week after neodymium: yttrium: aluminum garnet (Nd: YAG) LPI were evaluated with Pentacam. We measured the anterior chamber angle (ACA), central anterior chamber depth (CACD), peripheral anterior chamber depth (PACD), anterior chamber volume (ACV) and pupil diameter (PD). Paired t-test was used to investigate the differences in anterior segment parameters before and after LPI. Independent samples t-test was used to compare these parameters between PAC patients after LPI and normal persons.
resultsThere were significant differences between PAC patients and control in nasal and temporal ACA, PACD, ACV (P < 0.05) except for superior (P = 0.053) and inferior ACA (P = 0.389), CACD (P = 0.453) and PD (P = 0.221). ACV increased 56.5% in PAC patients after LPI whose ACV < 57 mm(3), which was more greatly than those patients whose ACV > 57 mm(3) (P = 0.001).
conclusionsThe changes of anterior chamber parameters after LPI in PAC eyes can be demonstrated by Pentacam objectively and quantitatively. LPI seems more effective for PAC eyes with smaller ACV. The anterior chamber parameters in PAC eyes after LPI are still significantly smaller than those of normal persons.
