Comparison of total corneal power measurements obtained with different devices after myopic keratorefractive surgery.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
aimTo analyze the differences, agreements, and correlation among total corneal power parameters generated by different instruments after myopic keratorefractive surgery.
methodsThe prospective cross-sectional study included patients who underwent myopic keratorefractive surgery and received measurements of corneal power 3mo after surgery. Automated keratometer was used for the measurement of simulated keratometry (SimK), swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) based biometer for total keratometry (TK), anterior segment-OCT for real keratometry (RK), and Scheimpflug keratometer for the true net power (TNP), the total corneal refractive power (TCRP) and equivalent K-readings (EKR). The differences among these parameters were analyzed, and the agreements and correlation between SimK and other total corneal power parameters were investigated.
resultsA total of 70 eyes of 70 patients after myopic keratorefractive surgery were included. The evaluated corneal power parameters were as follows: SimK 38.32±1.93 D, TK 37.54±2.12 D, RK 36.64±2.09 D, TNP 36.56±1.97 D, TCRP 36.70±2.01 D, and EKR 37.55±2.00 D. Pairwise comparison showed that there were significant differences (
conclusionAmong the corneal power parameters after myopic keratorefractive surgery, the value of SimK is the largest, followed by TK and EKR, with TCRP, RK, and TNP being the smallest. The differences among the parameters may be attributable to the different calculation principles. Correct understanding and evaluation of corneal power parameters can provide a theoretical basis for taking advantage of the total corneal power to improve the accuracy of intraocular lens calculation after keratorefractive surgery.
