Visual and refractive outcomes of 100 small incision lenticule extractions (SMILE) in moderate and high myopia: a 24-month follow-up study.

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
purposeWe aimed to present the visual results obtained in 100 small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) refractive surgeries, demonstrate whether the technique is effective in the treatment of moderate and high myopia, and observe the follow-up of these patients over 24-month period.
methodsOne hundred eyes of 50 consecutive patients were treated with SMILE. The preoperative spherical equivalent refraction was - 5.64 ± 1.23 D. During the postoperative period, patients were examined at 3, 6, 12, and 24 months. We analysed the efficacy, safety, predictability, and stability of the technique.
resultsThe Snellen visual acuity of 99% of the patients was 20/20 or better after 24 months of follow-up. Two eyes had a loss of two lines of visual acuity; 1% of the patients had a loss of one line of visual acuity. The postoperative spherical refraction was - 0.04 ± 0.35 D (- 1.00 to 0.50 D). The postoperative spherical equivalent refraction was - 0.19 ± 0.38 D (- 1.25 to 0.50 D). Eighty-three percent of the eyes were within ± 0.50 D, and 87% obtained a residual astigmatism of 0.50 D or less.
conclusionThe SMILE technique was demonstrated to be an effective, predictable, safe, and stable technique in the treatment of moderate-to-severe myopia during the 24-month follow-up. Long-term follow-up should be undertaken to observe possible refractive regressions.
