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

Purpose: To assess the refractive outcomes and effect on endothelial cell density of refractive implantable lens (RIL) implantation following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 10 eyes of 10 patients who had undergone DALK and subsequently underwent toric RIL implantation. The patients were followed up over a period of 1 year. The parameters compared were uncorrected and best corrected visual acuity, spherical and cylindrical acceptance, mean refractive spherical equivalent, and endothelial cell counts. Results: There was a significant improvement (P < 0.05) from preoperatively to 1 month postoperatively in the mean log of minimum angle of resolution (logMAR) uncorrected distance visual acuity (UCVA; 1.1 ± 0.1 to 0.3 ± 0.1), spherical refraction (5.4 ± 3.8 to 0.3 ± 0.1 D), cylindrical refraction (5.4 ± 3.2 to 0.8 ± 0.7 D), and MRSE (7.4 ± 3.5 to 0.5 ± 0.4 D). Three patients achieved spectacle independence for distance vision with a residual MRSE less than 1 D in the other cases. A stable refraction was maintained up to 1 year follow-up in all cases. There was a 2.3% mean decline in endothelial cell counts at 1 year of follow-up. No intraoperative or postoperative complications were seen in any case up to 1 year of follow-up. Conclusion: RIL implantation is an effective and safe procedure for the correction of high ametropia post-DALK.
