Higher-Order Aberrations Following Ray Trace LASIK and the Impact of Eye Movement on Coma.

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
Purpose: To assess ocular higher-order aberrations (HOAs) following ray trace guided laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: Retrospective review at a single-site ophthalmology practice. Two hundred and fifty eyes of 250 patients with myopia and astigmatism undergoing ray trace LASIK were randomly reviewed (Wavelight Plus, Alcon). The InnovEyes Sightmap (Alcon) diagnostic device was used for whole-eye wavefront aberrometry, tomography, and biometry assessment preoperatively and 3 months post-operatively. Ocular HOA, ablation decentration, intraoperative pupil size, and pupil tracking were assessed. Intraoperative eye tracking of x and y coordinates were separately averaged to calculate mean and standard deviation of movement along the x-axis and y-axis to assess eye movement. Results: Total HOA RMS (n = 250 eyes) increased marginally from 0.306 ±0.102 to 0.371 ±0.135 (p < 0.001) post-operatively. Spherical aberration decreased (0.092 ±0.112 to 0.056 ±0.125, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in preoperative to postoperative vertical coma under -3D SEQ and horizontal coma under 2D SEQ. In eyes with 4D or more myopia treatment, post-operative vertical and horizontal coma was moderately correlated with the product of ablation depth and vertical and horizontal decentration (R Conclusion: Ray trace LASIK results in a minimal increase in total ocular HOA which is statistically but not clinically significant. Spherical aberration decreases. In larger treatments, there is an increase in coma which correlates with vertical and horizontal decentration of ablation, likely due to eye movement during surgery.
