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

backgroundSpectral domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) was a useful tool to study accommodation in human eye, but the maximum image depth is limited due to the decreased signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). In this study, improving optical resolutions, speeds and the SNR were achieved by custom built SD-OCT, and the evaluation of the impact of the improvement during accommodation was investigated.

methodsThree systems with different spectrometer designs, including two Charge Coupled Device (CCD) cameras and one Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Transistor (CMOS) camera, were tested. We measured the point spread functions of a mirror at different positions to obtain the axial resolution and the SNR of three OCT systems powered with a light source with a 50 nm bandwidth, centered at a wavelength of 840 nm. Two normal subjects, aged 26 and 47, respectively, and one 75-year-old patient with an intraocular lens implanted were imaged.

resultsThe results indicated that spectrometers using cameras with 4096 camera pixels optimized the axial resolutions, due to the use of the full spectrum provided by the light source. The CCD camera system with 4096 pixels had the highest SNR and the best image quality. The system with the CMOS camera with 4096 pixels had the highest speed but had a compromised SNR compared to the CCD camera with 4096 pixels.

conclusionsUsing these three OCT systems, we imaged the anterior segment of the human eye before and after accommodation, which showed similar results among the different systems. The system using the CMOS camera with an ultra-long scan depth, high resolution and high scan speed exhibited the best overall performance and therefore was recommended for imaging real-time accommodation.
