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 compare the parameters and indices of a novel swept-source optical coherence tomography device (SS-OCT, ANTERION) with those of a rotating Scheimpflug camera (RSC)-based tomograph (Pentacam) in normal and keratoconic (KC) eyes.

methodsThis prospective, monocentric, cross-sectional study included individuals with unoperated normal and KC eyes, selecting one eye per subject. Ectasia-specific parameters analysed with the SS-OCT were difference in mean keratometry (K

resultsThis study included 117 individuals with healthy eyes and 335 eyes with KC. The indices with the highest diagnostic discriminatory ability between the two cohorts were SCORE, difference of K

conclusionThe diagnostic capabilities for both devices were found to be comparable. KC classification using SS-OCT can be independently based on the anterior surface, posterior surface and corneal thickness.
