Prevalence and Age-Related Changes of Corneal Astigmatism in Patients Undergoing Cataract Surgery in Northern China.

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 examine the magnitude, orientation, and age-related changes of corneal astigmatism of the eyes before cataract surgery.
designA clinical-based retrospective study.
resultsThe study consisted of 5662 eyes of 5662 consecutive cataract surgery patients with a mean age of 68.26 ± 10.39 (mean ± standard deviation (SD)) years (range 40 to 97 years), and 59.86% of the patients were women. Mean corneal astigmatism was 0.98 ± 0.76 diopter (D) (range 0.00-9.61 D). Corneal astigmatism of 0.50-0.99 D was the most common range of values (30.08%), followed by 1.00-1.49 D (22.15%), ≤0.50 D (21.21%), and 1.50-1.99 D (10.28%). There was a strong U-shaped relation between corneal astigmatism and age (
conclusionThis study may provide valuable and practical information to surgeons when selecting the appropriate surgical method and toric intraocular lens (IOLs).
