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

purposeTo evaluate the effects of ocular biometric variables on corneal biomechanical properties.

methodsA total of 102 eyes of 102 participants were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. The axial length (AL) was determined by an IOL master 500 and measurements of corneal biomechanical properties were performed using Corvis ST, integrated with pentacam results.

resultsAging and corneal steepening were associated with less corneal deformability and higher movement of the entire eye. Longer AL corresponded with greater deformability and lower corneal viscous damping properties and less whole eye movement (all P-values < 0.05). In contrast to mean keratometry (Mean K) and corneal diameter, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and AL have a significant effect on corneal biomechanical parameters. Corneal biomechanical index (CBI) was not significantly correlated with any of biometric parameters. Stress-strain index (SSI) was significantly correlated with age (r = 0.470), spherical equivalent (SE) (r = 0.537), AL (r = -0.534) and ACD (r = -0.316) (all P-values < 0.001).

conclusionsIn normal individuals, several parameters such as age, ACD, AL and Mean K have a great impact on corneal biomechanical properties; thereby, these effects should be taken into account prior to interpretation of corneal biomechanics, particularly in older ages and eyes with longer AL and steeper cornea.
