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

To determine the distribution of the anterior chamber parameters and associated factors in cataractous adults from middle China. In this cross-sectional study, axial length, anterior chamber depth (ACD) and lens thickness (LT) were measured with IOLMaster 700. The Pentacam HR was designed to measure the anterior chamber volume (ACV) and anterior chamber angle (ACA). Patients' data were collected and analyzed between 2020 and 2022. A total of 157 eyes of 157 Chinese adults (mean age: 64.43 ± 12.16 years) with a cataract were enrolled in this study. The mean values measured were as follows: axial length, 24.10 ± 2.44mm; ACD, 2.99 ± 0.52 mm; LT, 4.51 ± 0.48 mm; ACV, 113.98 ± 45.12 mm3; ACA, 32.33 ± 7.66 degrees. The ACD and ACV were statistically significantly greater in men than in women and had a decrease trend as age and LT increased. In the simulated linear equation of age with ACD and LT the absolute slope coefficients of equations were the same; however, the directions were opposite. The mean ACV was <100 mm3 when the patients were over 60 years. In the multivariate regression analysis of ACD, ACV and ACA there was a reasonable prediction with adjusted R2 = 0.878, 0.847 and 0.564, respectively. This study may provide normative data for cataract patients. The profile of anterior chamber can help improve the knowledge of the risk of angle closure in cataract candidates.
