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

Purpose: To characterize corneal biomechanical properties using the CORVIS-ST device in myopic individuals. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included patients with myopia. Our study included 154 eyes of 154 myopic patients aged between 18 and 40 years, with stable refraction for at least 2 years. A full ophthalmological examination and corneal tomography were performed using a Pentacam HR device. Corneal biomechanical parameters were assessed using the CORVIS-ST device in mild, moderate, severe, and extreme myopia groups. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in the DA ratio (p = 0.033), SP-A (p=0.009), CBI (p=0.041), SSI (p=0.000), and Peak distance (p = 0.032). In correlation with different Corvis ST biomechanical variables, SE was found to be correlated with DA ratio(r=-0.191, p=0.018), SP-A(r=0.199, p=0.013) and SSI(r=-0.336, p=0.000), while in multiple regression analysis, SE was found to be independently correlated with SSI and peak distance(p=0.036,0.038 respectively) while the grade of myopia was found to be independently correlated with SP-A(p=0.034). Conclusion: SSI, Peak distance, and SP-A were independently related to SE and myopia grade, confirming the hypothesis that eyes with higher myopia are more deformable and less stress resistant.
