Repeatability of curvature measurements in central and paracentral corneal areas of keratoconus patients using Orbscan and Pentacam.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
purposeTo determine the repeatability of curvature measurements in 5 corneal rings (1-5 mm from the corneal center) in keratoconus (KCN) patients using the Orbscan and Pentacam and to compare the values of these devices.
methodsForty-eight patients with a definite diagnosis of KCN were included in the study. Patients with any corneal scar or active disease or a history of ocular surgery were excluded from the study. The right eye of the patients was studied three times with the Orbscan and Pentacam. The repeatability of the curvatures of 5 corneal rings (1-5 mm from the corneal center) was evaluated using the Orbscan and Pentacam, and the agreement of their values was analyzed.
resultsThe intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of three measurements was at least 0.94 (
conclusionsAccording to the results of this study, keratometry readings are highly repeatable in Pentacam and Orbscan devices in all corneal rings. Despite the high correlation between curvature measurements of the Orbscan and Pentacam, there was a significant statistical and clinical difference between the results of two devices in all corneal rings (except the 5-mm ring), and the curvature measurements of the Pentacam were steeper than Orbscan measurements.
