Visual outcomes after small incision lenticule extraction and implantable collamer lens V4c for moderate myopia: 1-year results.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 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
purposeTo compare 1-year visual outcomes after implantable collamer lens V4c (EVO-ICL) implantation and small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) for moderate myopia.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 67 eyes of 39 patients with a preoperative manifest refraction spherical equivalent between - 3.00 and - 6.00 diopters (D) were selected from a database of SMILE and ICL implantation procedures performed from April 2018 to December 2018. Thirty-two eyes of 20 patients underwent EVO-ICL implantation, and 35 eyes of 19 patients underwent SMILE. At the routine 1-year follow-up appointment, all selected patients were examined for higher-order ocular aberrations, retinal image quality, and a quality of vision (QoV) questionnaire. This data was then analyzed.
resultsNo complications were observed. Uncorrected and corrected visual acuities at 1 year after surgery were - 0.13 ± 0.07 and - 0.15 ± 0.06 logMAR in the SMILE group, and - 0.10 ± 0.07 and - 0.16 ± 0.05 logMAR in the ICL group. Twenty-nine eyes (90.6%) which underwent ICL implantation and 34 eyes (97.1%) which underwent SMILE were within ± 0.5 D of the attempted spherical equivalent (P = 0.49). Changes in coma after ICL were significantly less than after SMILE (P = 0.002). The leading complaints after ICL and SMILE were halos (84.4%) and blurred vision (65.7%), respectively.
conclusionsBoth SMILE and ICL implantation provided good safety, efficacy, and predictability in correcting moderate myopia. The subjective visual complaints consisted mainly of halos after ICL and starbursts and blurred vision after SMILE.
