Comparison of correcting myopia and astigmatism with SMILE or FS-LASIK and postoperative higher-order aberrations.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
aimTo compare the effect of myopia and astigmatism correction and postoperative change in higher-order aberration as results of receiving small-incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and femtosecond laser-assisted
methodsA prospective and non-randomized controlled study was conducted. The subjects are divided into two groups according to different operations received: 229 eyes of 116 patients in the SMILE group and 168 eyes of 86 patients in the FS-LASIK group. All subjects were followed up for 3mo by monitoring their uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), spherical equivalent, higher-order aberrations, and the preoperative and postoperative complications.
resultsAt 1wk, 1, and 3mo post-surgery, 224 eyes (97.8%), 227 eyes (99.1%) and 229 eyes (100%) had UCVA≥20/20 in the SMILE group, while 165 eyes (98.2%), 167 eyes (99.4%) and 167 eyes (99.4%) had UCVA≥20/20 in the FS-LASIK group, respectively (
conclusionSMILE and FS-LASIK can effectively treat myopia, significantly improve visual acuity, and increase the total high-order aberration, spherical aberration, and coma. The incidence of complications after SMILE is relatively low.
