Correlation between ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism in children with low and moderate myopia.
Article in BMC 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
backgroundTo assess the correlation between ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism in children with low and moderate myopia.
methodsRefractive astigmatism was determined by subjective manifest refraction. Anterior corneal astigmatism was determined by IOL Master. Thibos vector analysis was used to calculate ocular residual astigmatism. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationship between the amounts of ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism. The relationship between the vectors of ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism was evaluated by a physical method.
resultsThe study analysed 241 right eyes of 241 children aged 8 to 18 years old. In this study, the median magnitude of ocular residual astigmatism was 1.02 D, with an interquartile range was of 0.58 D. Against-the-rule ocular residual astigmatism was seen in 232 eyes (96.3%). There was a significant and moderate correlation between ocular residual astigmatism and anterior corneal astigmatism (r = 0.50, P < 0.001). Ocular residual astigmatism compensated for anterior corneal astigmatism in 240 eyes (99.6%). The mean compensation value was 1.00 ± 0.41 D (range 0.02 D to 2.34 D). Based on this effect, 37 eyes had a different axial classification of anterior corneal astigmatism and refractive astigmatism. In contrast, one eye (0.4%) had oblique ocular residual astigmatism and the ocular residual astigmatism superimposed with-the-rule anterior corneal astigmatism.
conclusionsThe magnitude of ocular residual astigmatism was relatively large in myopic children and predominantly compensated for anterior corneal astigmatism. Ocular residual astigmatism should be assessed in patients before fitting them with orthokeratology lenses.
