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

introductionThe aim of this work is to compare 20 intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in medium-long eyes (24.50-25.99 mm) in terms of root mean square absolute error (RMSAE), median absolute error (MedAE), and percentage of eyes with prediction error (PE) within ± 0.50 D.

methodsThe data of patients who underwent uneventful phacoemulsification between January 2017 and September 2023 were reviewed. Pre-surgery IOL power was calculated using Holladay1, SRK/T, Hoffer Q, Holladay 2, and Haigis. Three months after phacoemulsification, refraction was measured. Post-surgery IOL power calculations were performed utilizing the following formulas: Barrett Universal II, Kane, K6, Olsen (OLCR), Olsen (standalone), PEARL-DGS, Ladas Super Formula AI (LSF AI), T2, EVO, VRF, Hoffer QST, Castrop, VRF-G, Karmona, and Naeser 2. RMSAE, MedAE, and percentage of eyes with PE within ± 0.25 D, ± 0.50 D, ± 0.75 D and ± 1.00 were calculated.

resultsOne hundred twenty-four eyes with axial length ranges between 24.52 and 25.97 mm were studied. The SRK/T formula yielded the lowest RMSAE (0.206) just before Holladay 1 (0.260) and T2 (0.261). In terms of MedAE, the best outcome was obtained by SRK/T (0.12) followed by Barrett Universal II (0.15) and LSF AI (0.15). The highest percentage of eyes with prediction error within ± 0.50 D was achieved by SRK/T, T2, and Holladay 1 (97.58, 93.55, and 93.55%, respectively).

conclusionsThird-generation formulas (SRK/T, Holladay 1) provided highly accurate outcomes in medium-long eyes and still can be wildly used to calculate IOL power.
