Corneal aberrations after small-incision lenticule extraction versus Q value-guided laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis.
Observational study in Medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Previous studies compared ocular aberration and visual quality after small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and Q value-guided femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (Q-FS-LASIK), but anterior corneal surface aberration properties are poorly known. This study aimed to compare the changes in anterior corneal surface aberration after SMILE versus Q-FS-LASIK.This was a prospective, observational cohort study. Patients with myopia and myopic astigmatism underwent SMILE or Q-FS-LASIK at Hangzhou MSK Eye Hospital between January 2015 and November 2015. High order aberration (HOA), primary spherical aberration (PSA), primary coma aberration (PCA), primary vertical coma aberration (PVCA), and primary horizontal coma aberration (PHCA) were assessed using pre- and postoperative Sirius scanning.Both surgery were associated with significant increases in postoperative HOA, PSA, and PCA (both groups P < .01). In the SMILE group (n = 51), the variations in HOA, PSA, and PCA were no longer significant after postoperative week 2 (P > .05). In the Q-FS-LASIK group (n = 73), the variations in HOA and PCA were no longer significant after postoperative day 1 (P > .05). In the SMILE group, the 3-month changes in PCA were not correlated with spherical, spherical equivalent (SE), and spherical plus cylinder measurements. Cylinder measurements were not correlated with HOA, PSA, and PCA. In the Q-FS-LASIK group, the 3-month changes in PCA correlated with spherical, SE, and spherical plus cylinder measurements.Both SMILE and Q-FS-LASIK resulted in an increase in HOA, PSA, and PCA at postoperative day 1, but Q-FS-LASIK introduced lower HOA and showed better stability. Spherical measurement was related to PSA.
