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

backgroundOptical coherence tomography (OCT) is the clinical gold standard for anterior and posterior segment imaging. Since OCT devices have been integrated into surgical microscopes, this technique is also available intraoperatively in anterior segment surgery. OCT is well established in imaging very thin or transparent structures as they appear in corneal or glaucoma surgery. Therefore, intraoperative OCT can deliver important information for the surgeon which is superior to the normal surgical microscope.

objectivesIn the present work, an overview about the opportunities of intraoperative OCT in cornea and glaucoma surgery are presented. MATERIAL AND

methodsThe recent literature (PubMed) and our own experience at the Center for Ophthalmology, University Hospital of Cologne are analysed.

resultsIntraoperative OCT enables real-time imaging during corneal and glaucoma surgery. Several clinical studies exist, indicating its benefit, e. g. in DMEK, DALK, DSAEK, Boston Keratoprosthesis, canaloplasty or trabectome surgery. Several structures, not visible in the surgical microscope, can be visualized using intraoperative OCT.

conclusionsAs a real-time and high-resolution imaging device, intraoperative online OCT delivers additional information in glaucoma and corneal surgery, compared to the normal operating microscope. Nonetheless one of the main problems is the shadowing produced by surgical instruments. Today the main limitation is the lack of randomized-controlled clinical trials, evaluating the benefit of microscope-integrated intraoperative OCT, compared to the microscope.
