[Dynamic Scheimpflug Analyzer (Corvis ST) for measurement of corneal biomechanical parameters : A praxis-related overview].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05161052 (Assessment of Corneal Stiffness Parameters in Keratoconus After Corneal Collagen Cross Linking Using Dynamic Scheimpflug Technology and Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography.), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundTopographic and tomographic parameters alone are often not sufficient for early detection of corneal changes. Pathological alterations in the microstructure of the cornea occur before changes in topography and tomography can be detected. Biomechanical parameters show a strong correlation with microscopic structural changes.
objectiveThe aim of the study was to gain information about the microscopic structure and consistency of the cornea by measuring biomechanical parameters. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe deformation behavior of the cornea was analyzed with the Dynamic Scheimpflug Analyzer (Corvis ST; OCULUS, Wetzlar, Germany). Deformation parameters and biomechanical indices were derived from the deformation response of the cornea.
resultsDeformation parameters and indices in keratoconus patients differ significantly from healthy subjects. Alterations of the cornea can be detected before topographic and tomographic changes occur. The repeatability and reproducibility of relevant deformation parameters is good to very good. In glaucoma patients a modified deformation behavior of the cornea can be observed, which might be related to structural changes.
conclusionThe Corvis ST allows a reliable characterization of the tissue structure and consistency of the cornea.
