Changes in asphericity of anterior and posterior corneal surfaces for mild-moderate and high myopia after topography-guided FS-LASIK.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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 compare changes in asphericity of anterior and posterior corneal surfaces for different myopia patients after corneal topography-guided femtosecond-assisted laser in situ keratomileuses (FS-LASIK), and to analyze correlations between asphericity of corneal surfaces and preoperative spherical equivalence (SEQ).
methodsIn this prospective study, 59 patients who underwent corneal topography-guided FS-LASIK surgery were enrolled and divided into the mild-moderate myopia group (67 eyes) and the high myopia group (44 eyes). Postoperative follow-ups were performed at 1, 3, and 6 months. Postoperative changes in aspherical coefficient (Q values), corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs), and spherical aberrations (Z
resultsThere was a significant increase in Q values of the anterior (each diameter) and posterior (6-8 mm) corneal surface in both groups than before surgery (P < 0.001). Q values of corneal anterior (each diameter) and posterior (7-9 mm) surface in the high group were considerably larger than the mild-moderate group (P < 0.05). Corneal anterior surface HOAs and Z
conclusionThe changes of corneal asphericity in patients with high myopia were greater than mild-moderate myopia, with more corneal HOAs and Z
