Angle Kappa agreement between Scheimpflug tomography, combined placido Scheimpflug and combined slit scanning placido systems.
Trial report in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 the measured or calculated angle Kappa using Oculus pentacam HR, Sirius and Orbscan III devices. PATIENTS AND
methodsA prospective randomized cohort study, conducted on 47 eyes of 47 healthy orthotropic individuals, with an age range of 18-50 years and a corrected Snellen's distance visual acuity (CDVA) of 0.8 decimal or better. Angle Kappa is assessed directly using Orbscan® III software version 1.8.165.1. (Bausch and Lomb Rochester, New York, United States), while Pentacam® HR 1.21r.65 (Oculus Optikgeräte GmbH, Wetzlar, Germany) and Sirius device (CSO, version 3.2.1.60, Costruzione Strumenti Oftalmici, Florence, Italy) were used to calculate angle kappa indirectly.
resultsLeast mean difference of estimated angle Kappa was between Orbscan and Pentacam devices (- 0.18° ± 1.8), and it was statistically insignificant (p value = 0.1294). Differences between both Orbscan and Sirius, and Pentacam and Sirius were statistically significant (p value = 0.0004 and < 0.0001 consecutively). Bland Altman analysis showed a 95% confidence interval between Orbscan III and Pentacam of - 3.76 to 3.4 and between Orbscan III and Sirius of - 3.79 to 2.26.
conclusionPentacam parameters can be used as a reliable method to calculate angle kappa indirectly, without usage of any additional measurements from other machine. Sirius device parameters could also be used, but with less accurate results. A simple modification to those devices' software to calculate it, and incorporate it in the printout is possible, and highly recommended.
