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 investigate the characteristics and associations of anterior lens zonules lengths in cataract patients via ultrasound biomicroscope (UBM) measurement.

methodsPatients with age-related cataracts and high myopic cataracts who planned to undergo cataract surgery were included in the study. After routine ophthalmic examinations, the UBM was performed on both eyes to get images of the anterior lens zonules, and Image J software was used to measure the lengths of the lens zonules. Axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), and white-to-white (WTW) diameter of both eyes were obtained by IOL Master 700. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were used to assess associated factors of anterior lens zonules lengths.

resultsForty-nine patients with age-related cataracts and 33 patients with high myopic cataracts were enrolled. High myopic cataract patients were younger and had longer anterior lens zonules. Multivariate regression analysis showed that anterior lens zonules lengths were associated with axial lengths (temporal location: β = 0.036, P = 0.029; nasal location: β = 0.034, P = 0.011; superior location: β = 0.046, P = 0.002) and ACD (inferior location: β = 0.305, P = 0.016) in right eyes. In left eyes, anterior lens zonules lengths were associated with axial lengths (temporal location: β = 0.028, P = 0.017; inferior location: β = 0.026, P = 0.016; nasal location: β = 0.033, P < 0.001) and ACD (inferior location: β = 0.215, P = 0.030; superior location: β = 0.290, P = 0.011).

conclusionsHigh myopic cataract patients have longer anterior lens zonules. AL and ACD contributed to the lengths of anterior lens zonules. Thus, for patients with long AL and deeper ACD, lens zonules measurement was crucial. CLINICAL
