Comparison of early visual outcomes after SMILE using VISUMAX 800 and VISUMAX 500 for myopia: a retrospective matched case-control study.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 papers.
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
VISUMAX 800 was introduced to improve the patient experience and clinical outcomes of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE). This was a retrospective, matched, and case-control study (1:2) controlled for preoperative central corneal thickness and refractive error that compared early refractive and visual outcomes after SMILE using VISUMAX 800 and VISUMAX 500 to treat myopia. We included 50 eyes that underwent the VISUMAX 800 SMILE and 100 eyes that underwent the VISUMAX 500 SMILE. SMILE using VISUMAX 800 was performed using the CentraLign aid for vertex centration. Cyclotorsion was controlled by an OcuLign assistant in the VISUMAX 800 group after corneal marking. Corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) were evaluated using a Pentacam 1 month after surgery. No differences were observed in the pre- and post-operative refractive and visual outcomes at 1 day, 1 month, and 6 months after surgery. VISUMAX 800 induced less total HOAs than VISUMAX 500 (P = 0.036). No statistically significant differences were observed in the amounts of induced spherical aberrations or vertical and horizontal comas. No differences were observed in the 1 month and 6 months refractive and visual outcomes between two SMILE procedures, except for VISUMAX 800, which resulted in lower postoperative total HOAs than VISUMAX 500.
