Contralateral eye comparison of the long-term visual quality and stability between implantable collamer lens and laser refractive surgery for myopia.
Article in Acta ophthalmologica, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
purposeTo investigate the long-term visual quality and stability of implantable collamer lens (ICL) and laser refractive surgery (LRS) for myopia.
methodsThis study comprised 52 eyes of 26 high-myopia anisometropia patients who were suitable for surgical treatment. In each patient, the higher-myopia eye was implanted with ICL and the lower-myopia eye was treated with LRS. The patients were followed for 3 years. During that time period, uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), refraction, wavefront aberration and visual quality were evaluated.
resultsThe spherical equivalent refractive error changed from -14.11 ± 3.39 D preoperatively to -1.27 ± 1.05 D 3 years after ICL implantation and from -8.75 ± 2.76 D to -1.12 ± 1.30 D after LRS. The changes in refractive error from 1 month to 3 years were -0.52 and -0.77 D for the ICL and LRS groups, respectively. The safety indices (postoperative CDVA/preoperative CDVA) were 1.84 ± 1.00 and 1.32 ± 0.40, and the efficacy indices (postoperative UDVA/preoperative CDVA) were 1.40 ± 1.10 and 1.11 ± 0.44, respectively. The postoperative coma, spherical and total higher-order aberrations in the ICL group were lower than those in the LRS group.
conclusionBoth ICL implantation and LRS are safe and effective procedures for myopia with suitable indications, but ICL implantation is more stable. Fewer induced aberrations are gained after ICL implantation.
