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

purposeTo evaluate the association between axial length and crystalline lens biometry with and without accommodation using the CASIA2 swept-source (SS) optical coherence tomography (OCT) system on the anterior segment. STUDY

designIntervention study.

methodsIndividuals aged 20 to 39 years were enrolled for SS-OCT imaging at 2 separate visits within 1 week. Each eye was imaged under accommodation stimuli with different amplitudes (0 D, -1 D, -3 D, -5 D, and -7 D). The anterior and posterior lens curvature radii and lens thicknesses were measured. The participants were divided into 4 groups according to axial length.

resultsForty-eight participants (96 eyes) were initially enrolled. All 96 eyes were included in the analyses, as they met the eligibility criteria and each had proper OCT images. The mean participant age was 25.9 ± 4.3 years, and the mean spherical error was -3.5 ± 2.5 D. The mean axial length was 25.1 ± 1.2 mm. Multivariate analysis revealed that the anterior curvature radius became flatter and the lens thickness became thicker as the axial length increased (all P < .01). Furthermore, axial length independently contributed to the shape of the lens after adjusting for the effects of age and accommodation stimuli.

conclusionAxial length was associated with lens shape after adjusting for age and accommodation stimuli. These measurements can provide a glimpse of dynamic lens biometry changes, which may help us better understand the role of lenses in various physiologic changes, including accommodation and myopia.
