In Vivo Evaluation of the Effects of SMILE with Different Amounts of Stromal Ablation on Corneal Biomechanics by Optical Coherence Elastography.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This work aims to depth-resolved quantitatively analyze the effect of different stromal ablation amounts on the corneal biomechanical properties during small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) using optical coherence elastography (OCE). A 4.5-MHz ultrasonic transducer was used to excite elastic waves in the corneal tissue. The OCE system combined with the antisymmetric Lamb wave model was employed to achieve a high-resolution, high-sensitivity, and depth-resolved quantitative detection of the corneal Young's modulus. Eighteen rabbits were randomly divided into three groups; each group had six rabbits. The first and second groups underwent -3D and -6D SMILE surgeries, and the third group was the control group, respectively. Young's modulus of the corneal cap and residual stromal bed (RSB) were both increased after SMILE, which shared the stress under intraocular pressure (IOP). Furthermore, the Young's modulus of both the corneal cap and RSB after 3D SMILE group were significantly lower than that in the -6D group, which indicated that the increases in the post-operative corneal Young's modulus were positively correlated with the amount of stromal ablation. The OCE system for quantitative spatial characterization of corneal biomechanical properties can provide useful information on the extent of safe ablation for SMILE procedures.
