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 assess the repeatability of anterior segment parameters and axial length (AL) using Pentacam AXL and Galilei G6 and the agreement between both devices. MATERIALS AND

methodsEighty-four eyes of 84 participants were measured prospectively with two devices. Outcome measurements included corneal curvatures, anterior chamber depth (ACD), AL, pupil size, and white-to-white distance (WTW). Intra-device repeatability was assessed using intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), within-subject standard deviation (Sw), test-re-test repeatability (TRT=2.77 Sw), and coefficient of variation (CoV). Agreement between two devices was analyzed using Bland-Altman plots.

resultsFor each device, the Sw of corneal curvatures, ACD, and AL were lower than 0.25 D, 0.04 mm, and 0.04 mm, respectively. The ICC was higher than 0.90 in all parameters measured by Pentacam AXL, whereas three parameters measured by Galilei G6 (steep meridian at anterior and posterior cornea, and pupil size) were lower than 0.90. Comparing to Galilei G6, Pentacam AXL led to significantly lower mean anterior cornea curvatures (Km) with the mean difference (95% level of agreement; LoA) of -0.12 D (-0.36, 0.12,

conclusionWe found good repeatability of corneal curvature, ACD, and AL in both devices. Most parameters obtained from Pentacam AXL were statistically significantly different from those obtained from Galilei G6, except for steep meridians and ACD.
