Overcoming myopic shift by the initial inductive hypermetropia in pediatric cataract surgery.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 assess the outcome of under-correction of intraocular lens (IOL) power in pediatric cataract surgery.
methodsWe collected clinical data of 103 patients (181 eyes), all aged ≤15 years, who had undergone cataract surgery by a surgeon during 2006-2016. The mean duration of follow-up was 73 ± 38 months (range: 24-108). IOL power was calculated by Hoffer Q formula in axial length (AL) <21 mm and SRKT formula in AL ≥21 mm and then modified based on this approach: 7D initial inductive hypermetropization in children ≤1-year-old, 5D in 1-3, 3.5D in 3-5, 2.5D in 5-7, 1.5D in 7-9, 1D in 9-10, and 0 in children >10 years old.
resultsThe mean age of all children at surgery time was 5.85 ± 4.56 years (range: 1-178 months). There was a mean myopic shift of -6.379 D in the ≤1 year, -5.532 in the 1-3, -3.194 in the 3-5, -2.301 in the 5-7, -1.06 in the 7-9, -1.567 in the 9-10, and 0.114 in the >10-year-old age group. In 125 eyes (69.1%) of 181, the final SE was between -2 and +2 D, and 21 eyes (11.6%) achieved the goal of emmetropization. Mean best-corrected visual acuity logarithm of the minimum angle of the resolution was 0.30 in children ≤1 year, 0.39 in 1-3, 0.21 in 3-5, 0.18 in 5-7, 0.14 in 7-9, 0.16 in 9-10, and 0.11 in children >10 years old.
conclusionThis study shows a larger myopic shift in younger children. Using our approach, all age groups could finally achieve acceptable final refraction.
