Effect of corneal curvature on optical zone decentration and its impact on astigmatism and higher-order aberrations in SMILE and LASIK.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 determine the association between anterior corneal curvature and optical zone centration as well as its impact on aberration profiles in small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK).
methodsSeventy-eight eyes of 78 patients treated with SMILE (45 eyes) and LASIK (33 eyes) were included. The centration of the optical zone was evaluated on the instantaneous curvature difference map between the preoperative and 3-month postoperative scans using a superimposed set of concentric circles. The correlation between optical zone decentration and anterior keratometry values was evaluated. The effect of optical zone decentration on vector components of astigmatic correction and induction of higher-order aberrations (HOA) was assessed.
resultsThe mean decentration distance was 0.21 ± 0.11 mm for SMILE and 0.20 ± 0.09 mm for LASIK (p = 0.808). There was a significant correlation between anterior keratometric astigmatism and decentration distance (r = 0.653, p < 0.001) for SMILE but not for LASIK (r = - 0.264, p = 0.138). Astigmatic correction was performed in 67 eyes. Optical zone decentration and the vector components of astigmatic correction were not correlated (p ≥ 0.420). Significant correlation was demonstrated between the decentration distance and the induced total coma (SMILE: r = 0.384, p = 0.009; LASIK: r = 0.553, p = 0.001) as well as the induced total HOA (SMILE: r = 0.498, p = 0.001; LASIK: r = 0.555, p = 0.001).
conclusionAnterior cornea astigmatism affected the treatment centration in SMILE but not LASIK. Subclinical decentration was associated with the induction of total coma and total HOA, but it did not affect the lower-order astigmatic correction.
