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

purposeTo assess the feasibility and reliability of biometric measurements taken with the Eyestar 900 device in keratoconus eyes in comparison with those taken with the Pentacam HR and IOLMaster 700.

methodsSeventy-five eyes of 75 patients with keratoconus were included. The central corneal thickness (CCT), thinnest point of corneal thickness (TCT), axial length (AL), flat (K1) and steep (K2) anterior and posterior (Kp1, Kp2) keratometry, maximal keratometry (KMax) and anterior chamber depth (ACD) were compared between the Eyestar 900, Pentacam HR and IOLMaster 700. Reliability parameters such as the coefficient of variation (CoV) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were calculated. Pearson's r was determined to assess the correlation between devices.

resultsA high repeatability (CoV < 1%) and intraclass correlation (ICC > 0.9) was found for all devices, led by AL, TCT, K1 and K2 (CoV 0.01-0.36%; ICC 0.994-1.00). The largest correlation between devices was found for AL (Eyestar vs. IOLMaster, r = 1.0), K1 (Eyestar vs. IOLMaster, r = 0.997) and ACD (Eyestar vs. IOLMaster, r = 0.995; Pentacam vs. IOLMaster, r = 0.987; Eyestar vs. Pentacam, r = 0.983), but there were significant differences in measured values between devices (p < 0.001), whereas the correlation was only slightly lower (r = 0.947 to 0.994) for KMax, CCT, TCT, K2, Kp1 and Kp2.

conclusionKeratometric and axial length measurements with the Eyestar 900 were feasible and revealed a high repeatability and a good correlation to the other devices in eyes with keratoconus.
