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

backgroundThere are no reports on accurate measurement of lens equatorial diameter of the living human eye. This study aimed to measure lens equatorial diameter with a special measurement device during cataract surgery and examine the relationships with preoperative parameters.

methodsFrom April 7 to December 1, 2019, the equatorial diameters of 24 eyes from 24 patients who underwent cataract surgery at Kushimoto Arita Hospital were measured with a loop shaped measurement device during cataract surgery. Correlations between the value of the diameters and various preoperative parameters measured by CASIA2

resultsThe average value of the measured equatorial diameter using the device was 10.5 ± 0.4 mm and the value estimated by circular approximation using the CASIA2

conclusionOur method is a completely new approach to measuring the living human lens equatorial region of the eye. No complications were observed in any of the cases. One new finding was the values of the lens equatorial diameters are actually longer than those reported previously. The results suggest that the values of the equatorial diameter measured by the loop device and those estimated by CASIA2
