Laser keratomileusis in treatment of anisometropic amblyopia in adults.

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
purposeTo compare and evaluate improvement in corrected distant visual acuity (CDVA) between myopia and hyperopia after laser MATERIALS AND
methodsThis prospective clinical study included 103 amblyopic eyes (103 patients), which underwent LASIK correction of refractive error from January 2013 to January 2018. Uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), CDVA, spherical equivalent (SE), postoperative astigmatism, and intraocular pressure were evaluated at time points of 1, 6, and 12 months.
resultsPatients were divided into two groups according to refractive error. Group 1: Forty-six patients with myopia and Group 2: Fifty-seven patients with hyperopia. Mean CDVA (logarithm of the minimum angle of resolution [logMAR]) preoperatively was 0.23 ± 0.16 in Group 1 and 0.40 ± 0.19 in Group 2. Postoperative CDVA (logMAR) was 0.17 ± 0.13 in Group 1 and 0.32 ± 0.17 in Group 2. There was statistically significant increase in UDVA (
conclusionLASIK can improve CDVA in a considerable portion of amblyopic eyes, both myopic and hyperopic. Eyes with better initial CDVA and those with myopia were associated with greater improvement in postoperative CDVA.
