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

aimTo explore the possibility of deploying three contactless devices (static and rotating Scheimpflug technology, spectral domain optical coherence tomography) for measuring central corneal thickness (CCT) in preoperative and postoperative examinations of cataract patients.

methodsTotally 72 patients who had undergone surgery without complications were selected. The CCT was measured prior to the operation, as well as on the first, 5

resultsA significant postoperative increase and subsequent decrease in CCT was identified with all three devices. The correlations were highly significant and thus reflect a very good degree of comparability at all times with the exception of the rotating Scheimpflug camera. The postoperative results from the latter differed significantly from the other devices. The correlations were Sirius/Topcon (

conclusionAll three devices are suitable for postoperative monitoring of CCT. The measurement results are only comparable to a limited extent and not interchangeable in the course of treating a single patient. This is due to the different imaging technology used in the devices and the resulting modalities for conducting the measurements.
