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

backgroundTo investigate the morphologic features of iris in the highly myopic (HM) eyes using a novel swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT).

methodsIn this retrospective case-control study, 100 eyes of 100 patients scheduled to have cataract surgery were included, categorized into the control (22 mm< AL < 24.5 mm) and HM (AL ≥ 26 mm) groups. Iris volume (IV), area of anterior iris surface (IS), area of posterior IS, and average iris thickness (IT), as well as anterior chamber volume (ACV) and trabecular-iris space at 500 µm (TISA 500) were evaluated using SS-OCT. The associated factors with morphologic features of iris were also investigated.

resultsThe HM group showed significantly larger IV and area of anterior and posterior IS than the control group (all P < 0.001), while no difference was identified in IT between the groups. Similar trend in IV was seen in the superior and nasal segments, and area of anterior and posterior IS showed similar trends in all segments except the temporal segment. The IV, area of anterior and posterior IS were all positively correlated with AL (all P < 0.001). Multivariate linear regression revealed that a larger IV was associated with greater ACV. Both larger areas of anterior IS and posterior IS were associated with male, longer AL, greater ACV, and smaller TISA 500.

conclusionsThe HM eyes showed larger IV and area of IS than the control eyes, indicating a coronal expansion of the iris with AL. Iris morphology correlated with anterior chamber angle configuration.
