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

purposeTo evaluate the agreement of ocular biometry measured using a swept-source optical coherence (Casia 2) and a dual Scheimpflug (Galilei G6) tomography in keratoconus.

methodsThis retrospective study included 102 eyes from 102 keratoconus patient examined using both devices. Parameters compared included flat (Kf) and steep (Ks) keratometry, astigmatism of anterior, posterior, and total keratometry, central (CCT) and thinnest (TCT) corneal thickness. To assess the agreement, intraclass coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman analysis with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) were used.

resultsAnterior and total Ks and Kf showed moderate or good agreement with 95% limits of agreement (LoA) range over 9.75 D. Posterior Ks and Kf were lower in the Galilei G6 (all p < 0.001). Astigmatism showed moderate, poor, and moderate agreement for anterior, posterior, and total keratometry, respectively. CCT and TCT showed excellent agreement; however, the 95% LoA range was over 60 μm.

conclusionThe agreement between the two devices was not excellent for most parameters used to diagnose keratoconus and assess disease progression, and the differences were clinically significant. Therefore, the measurements from these two devices are not interchangeable for patients with keratoconus.
