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

A review of 31 eyes with keratoconus who developed cataract and underwent phacoemulsification. Visual acuities were measured 1mo postoperatively. Six eyes with a history of good corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA) and a similar refractive and topographic astigmatic axis were implanted with toric intraocular lenses (IOLs). The mean postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 0.2 logMAR with a spherical equivalent (SE): 0.75D. Eleven eyes with a history of good CDVA and different refractive and topographic axis were implanted with monofocal IOL+/-Toric implantable collamer lenses to treat anisometropia and ametropia; mean UDVA was 0.25 logMAR with a mean SE: -0.51 D postoperatively. Six eyes with poor CDVA were first treated with intra-corneal ring segments, followed by phacoemulsification, the mean postoperative UDVA was 0.82 logMAR with an SE: 0.22 D. Eight eyes had advanced ectesia and received combined phacoemulsification and penetrating keratoplasty. Our approach is efficient in addressing ametropia after cataract surgery in keratoconic eyes.
