Comparative study of objective visual quality between FS-LASIK and SMART in myopia.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2022. 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
aimTo compare the changes in the objective visual quality of patients with low and moderate myopia postoperatively after transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy using the smart pulse technology (SMART) and femtosecond laser
methodsCorneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs), horizontal coma, vertical coma and spherical aberration were measured using Pentacam, and cutoff for modulation transfer function (MTF cutoff), objective scatter index (OSI) and Strehl ratio (SR) was measured using an optical quality analysis system (OQAS-II), before and after operation at 1, 3, and 6mo, and data were analyzed by repeated measurement two-way analysis of variance.
resultsThe difference in uncorrected distance visual acuity between SMART and FS-LASIK was statistically significant only 1wk postoperatively. Approximately 86.36% and 80.69% of patients with spherical equivalent (SE) in ±0.50 D were observed in the SMART and FS-LASIK groups, respectively. No significant difference was observed in SE between the two groups (
conclusionThe HOAs increase and visual quality is delayed in both groups postoperatively, and the long-term objective visual quality after SMART is slightly better than that after FS-LASIK.
