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 compare the quality outcomes of vision at early phase after topography-guided femtosecond laser-assisted

methodsRetrospective comparative analysis of 49 patients that underwent FS-LASIK (

resultsIn both groups, 100% of the eyes obtained a UCVA of 20/20 or better at 1wk, 1, and 3mo postoperatively. At 1d and 3mo postoperatively, UCVA was better in FS-LASIK-CV group than in SMILE group. At 1wk postoperatively, SEQ was lower in SMILE group than in FS-LASIK-CV group (

conclusionBoth FS-LASIK-CV and SMILE demonstrate to be safe, effective, and predictable in treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism. Early postoperative improvement in UCVA and CSF at high spatial frequency under scotopic conditions were better after FS-LASIK-CV than SMILE.
