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 evaluate the efficacy of custom-made soft keratoconus (KC) lenses on corneal aberrations and photic phenomena in two different optical zones in patients with KC.

methodsSixty eyes of 42 patients with KC were examined at baseline and after fitting HydroCone (Toris K) soft silicone hydrogel lenses. Best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA) and contact lens-corrected visual acuity (CLCVA) were recorded. Lower- and higher-order corneal aberrations (LOAs and HOAs) were measured with and without Toris K lenses and compared in central 4.5 mm and 7 mm zones. Mesopic pupil diameter and subjective photic phenomena were also assessed.

resultsMean CLCVA was significantly improved compared to BSCVA (

conclusionToris K lenses provide good visual results and a significant reduction in central corneal aberrations in patients with KC but could cause an increase in peripheral aberrations. This practical and nonsurgical approach appears to be an effective method for the visual management of KC.
