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

aimTo investigate the changes in choroidal thickness (CT) in high myopic eyes after femtosecond laser-assisted

methodsWe examined the right eyes of 116 patients with high myopia who were candidates for FS-LASIK surgery and ICL implantation. Sixty eyes underwent ICL V4c implantation and 56 eyes were subjected to FS-LASIK surgery. The CT was measured with SS-OCT. All data were recorded preoperatively and 2h, 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively. Other demographic information was collected, including age, sex, uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent (SE), intraocular pressure (IOP) and axial length (AL).

resultsThe UCVA improved in both groups and showed no significant differences between groups. There also were no significant differences between the two groups in postoperative BCVA and SE (

conclusionThe CTs after ICL implantation and FS-LASIK surgery are significantly thicker than those before operation, especially in the foveal and nasal areas, but there is no significant difference between the two methods.
