Corneal and Epithelial Thickness Mapping: Comparison of Swept-Source- and Spectral-Domain-Optical Coherence Tomography.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
objectiveTo compare the results and repeatability of the corneal thickness (CT) and epithelial thickness (ET) maps provided by Swept-Source-Optical Coherence Tomography with those of Spectral-Domain-OCT in normal eyes.
methods30 normal eyes of 30 patients were assessed by 3 trained operators with SS-OCT and SD-OCT.
resultsThe central and minimum ET obtained with both devices were correlated: central ET,
conclusionSS-OCT and SD-OCT provide reproducible measurements of CT and ET in normal corneas with a strong correlation between both technologies. However, both technologies are not interchangeable when the main thickness parameters (i.e., central and minimum CT and minimum ET) are used for diagnosing early keratoconus or calculating the expected residual stromal bed thickness before corneal refractive surgery or anterior lamellar keratoplasty.
