Changes in ocular biometric parameters after renal transplantation.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the changes in postoperative ocular biometric parameters in end-stage renal disease patients who underwent renal transplantation. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis retrospective study included a total of 33 eyes of 33 patients. The ocular biometric measurements which were evaluated were axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), corneal keratometry (K1 and K2), degree of astigmatism, lens thickness (LT), and intraocular pressure (IOP). Refractive prediction error (RE) was calculated before and after renal transplantation using the same diopter (D) for intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation and evaluated for potential cataract surgery.
resultsThe study included 15 male (45%) and 18 female (55%) patients. Mean patient age was 31.55 ± 8.24 (range: 18-49 years). In the comparison of preoperative and 1-month postoperative measurements, there was a statistically significant difference in AL, LT, ACD, and CCT (p < 0.001). There was no statistically significant difference between K1, K2, and astigmatism measurements (p = 0.72; p = 0.35; p = 0.62, respectively). There was no statistically significant difference in RE (p = 0.61-Holladay 2).
conclusionWhile renal transplantation surgery does not lead to significant changes in astigmatism, predicted refractive error, corneal keratometry, or intraocular pressure, it causes significant decrease in axial length, lens thickness, and central corneal thickness and significant increase in anterior chamber depth. However, these changes do not result in significant changes in IOL power calculation in planned cataract surgery.
