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
purposeThe purpose of this study was to assess the effects of incorporating individual ocular biometry measures of corneal curvature, refractive error, and axial length on scan length obtained using Spectralis spectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT).
methodsTwo SD-OCT scans were acquired for 50 eyes of 50 healthy participants, first using the Spectralis default keratometry (K) setting followed by incorporating individual mean-K values. Resulting scan lengths were compared to predicted scan lengths produced by image simulation software, based on individual ocular biometry measures including axial length.
resultsAxial length varied from 21.41 to 29.04 mm. Spectralis SD-OCT scan lengths obtained with default-K ranged from 5.7 to 7.3 mm, and with mean-K from 5.6 to 7.6 mm. We report a stronger correlation of simulated scan lengths incorporating the subject's mean-K value (ρ = 0.926, P < 0.0005) compared to Spectralis default settings (ρ = 0.663, P < 0.0005).
conclusionsOcular magnification appears to be better accounted for when individual mean-K values are incorporated into Spectralis SD-OCT scan acquisition versus using the device's default-K setting. This must be considered when taking area measurements and lateral measurements parallel to the retinal surface.
