Assessment by Optical Coherence Tomography of Short-Term Changes in IOP-Related Structures Caused by Wearing Scleral Lenses.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe mechanism that could increase intraocular pressure (IOP) during scleral lens (SL) wear is not fully understood, although it may be related to compression of the landing zone on structures involved in aqueous humor drainage.
methodsThirty healthy subjects were fitted with two SLs of different sizes (L1 = 15.8 mm, L2 = 16.8 mm) for 2 h in the right eye and left eye as a control. Central corneal thickness (CCT), parameters of iridocorneal angle (ICA), Schlemm's canal (SC), and optic nerve head were measured before and after wearing both SLs. IOP was measured with a Perkins applanation tonometer before and after lens removal and with a transpalpebral tonometer before, during (0 h, 1 h, and 2 h), and after lens wear.
resultsCCT increased after wearing L1 (8.10 ± 4.21 µm;
conclusionsIn the short term, SL resulted in a slight increase in IOP in addition to small changes in ICA and SC parameters, although it did not seem to be clinically relevant in healthy subjects.
