Comparison of Corneal Optical Quality After SMILE, Wavefront-Optimized LASIK and Topography-Guided LASIK for Myopia and Myopic Astigmatism.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Purpose: To compare visual outcomes and corneal optical quality after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE), wavefront-optimized (WFO) FS-LASIK, and topography-guided customized ablation treatment (TCAT) FS-LASIK for myopia. Methods: This prospective case-series study included 283 eyes of 283 myopic patients who underwent SMILE or FS-LASIK. There were 102, 100, and 81 eyes in the SMILE group, WFO group and TCAT group, respectively. The tomography system (Sirius) was used to measure corneal aberrations and optical quality. Results: At postoperative 1 and 6 months, there were no significant differences in uncorrected distance visual acuity and corrected distance visual acuity among the three groups ( Conclusion: SMILE, WFO FS-LASIK, and TCAT FS-LASIK provided similar visual results. The corneal visual quality after TCAT FS-LASIK was the best.
