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

Purpose: To evaluate the visual outcomes of keratorefractive lenticule extraction using a new version of a femtosecond laser platform with semi-automated cyclotorsion compensation in comparison to the previous generation without cyclotorsion control. Methods: This was an ambispective study of consecutive eyes treated by SMILE with the VisuMax and VISUMAX 800 femtosecond lasers at the Uma Eye clinic, Chennai, India between June 2022 and July 2023. Inclusion criteria were myopia up to -10 D and astigmatism between 1.5 D and 5 D. Data was retrospectively collected from patients that underwent SMILE using the VisuMax without cyclotorsion compensation and prospectively collected from patients undergoing SMILE using the VISUMAX 800 with Oculign and Centralign software aids. Results: Data was collected from a total of 220 eyes that underwent routine SMILE; 115 eyes with VisuMax (VM500 group) and 105 eyes with VISUMAX 800 (VM800 group). The mean attempted spherical equivalent was -4.82±2.16 D in the VM500 group and -4.80±2.24 in the VM800 group. At the 3-month postoperative visit, 94% of eyes in the VM500 group and 98% of eyes in the VM800 group had an UDVA of 20/20 or better. Accuracy of the SEQ showed that 71% of eyes were within ±0.50 D and 100% were within ±1.00 D of target in the VM500 group and 96% of eyes were within ±0.50 D and 100% were within ±1.00 D of target in the VM800 group. There were no reported cases of suction loss or any other intraoperative complication in either group. Conclusion: SMILE with the VisuMax and VISUMAX 800 provided excellent visual and refractive outcomes for subjects with myopic astigmatism. The VISUMAX 800, using Oculign and Centralign aids, demonstrated better accuracy when correcting cylinder greater than 2 D compared to the VisuMax without using manual cyclotorsion compensation.
