Simplifying and understanding various topographic indices for keratoconus using Scheimpflug based topographers.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 36 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
Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive ectatic corneal disorder. There are multiple topographic devices and their varied indices used for diagnosis, detecting progression, and deciding management. It is important to understand the repeatablility, intra- test variabililty, and comparability amongst various topographic devices. The Scheimpflug camera-based devices, such as the Pentacam (Oculus, Wetzlar, Germany), Galilei (Ziemer, Biel, Switzerland), and Sirius (Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Florence, Italy) are known to assist in the detection of early keratoconus and subclinical keratoconus. This article reviews the various Scheimpflug camera-based devices in depth, addressing their different indices, diagnostic accuracy, repeatability, and agreement and identifying the strongest parameter of each device. It will guide the practicing clinician by giving practical tips for decision making in the diagnosis and management of keratoconus.
