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

This retrospective comparative study analyzes the early postoperative impact of laser vision correction for myopia on the optical quality and stability of functional vision using a double-pass aberrometer. Retinal image quality and visual function stability were assessed preoperatively, one and three months after myopic laser in situ keratomileuses (LASIK) and photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) using double-pass aberrometry (HD Analyzer, Visiometrics S.L, Terrassa, Spain). The parameters analyzed included vision break-up time (VBUT), objective scattering index (OSI), modulation transfer function (MTF), and Strehl ratio (SR). The study included 141 eyes of 141 patients, of whom 89 underwent PRK and 52 underwent LASIK. No statistically significant differences were noted between the two techniques in any analyzed parameters at three months postoperatively. However, a significant drop was observed in all parameters one month after PRK. Only the OSI and VBUT remained significantly altered from baseline at the three months follow-up visit, with an increased OSI by 0.14 +/- 0.36 (
