Outcomes of 320-degree intrastromal corneal ring segment implantation for advanced keratoconus.

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
purposeThe purpose of this study is to investigate visual and tomographic outcomes and complications of long-arc length intrastromal corneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation for the treatment of advanced keratoconus. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis retrospective study enrolled 10 eyes of 9 subjects. All patients received 320-degree ICRS (320-ICRS) implantation with femtosecond laser-assisted technique based on their advanced grading with preoperative high keratometry (K) value, asphericity (Q), and astigmatism. Medical records and corneal tomography changes of consecutive patients were reviewed at baseline, 1, and 3 months after treatment.
resultsThere are 6 female and 3 male patients with a mean age of 29.6 ± 7.8 years in this study. Mean K (Km) reduced from 59.01 ± 5.81 D preoperatively to 50.7 ± 5.3 and 50.2 ± 3.66 postoperatively (after 1 month and 3 months respectively,
conclusionsThe present results suggest that implanting a 320-ICRS is a safe and effective procedure for treating patients with advanced keratoconus. Preoperative corneal measurements and the selection of types and thickness of ICRS are important to prevent unpredictable results.
