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

Astigmatism is the most frequent refractive error worldwide followed by hyperopia and myopia. Internal astigmatism has to be differentiated from external astigmatism. Furthermore, external astigmatism can be divided into "with the rule", "against the rule" and "oblique". The summation of internal and external astigmatism results in the refractive cylinder. Astigmatism has for a long time been regarded as a two-dimensional phenomenon; however, only a three-dimensional consideration expanded the view on existing analytical methods (topography and tomography). Alpins' vector analysis is a commonly used method for treatment planning. Multiple options exist for treatment of astigmatism with conservative approaches, such as eyeglasses or toric contact lenses as well as various surgical procedures, such as photorefractive keratectomy, femtosecond laser-assisted keratotomy, laser in-situ keratomileusis, small incision lenticule extraction and toric intraocular lens implantation.
