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

backgroundAdvanced swept-source optical coherence tomography (SS-OCT) devices are the current gold standard for the measurement of ocular biometric and keratometric parameters, which are essential for the calculation and selection of intraocular lenses (IOLs). This study compares the agreement of two SS-OCT devices, the Eyestar 900 (Haag-Streit, Köniz, Switzerland) and the Anterion (Heidelberg Engineering, Heidelberg, Germany). MATERIALS AND

methodsAll patients undergoing cataract surgery or seeking consultation for corneal abnormalities between January 2024 and May 2024 were eligible for inclusion. Both eyes were included in the final analysis.

resultsA sample of 86 eyes from 43 patients was analysed. The mean differences (ES-AN) across all data between the Eyestar 900 (ES) and Anterion (AN) were as follows: anterior chamber depth (ACD) - 0.080 mm (ICC > 0.926), axial length (AL) 0.015 mm (ICC > 0.99), central corneal thickness (CCT) 0.914 µm (ICC > 0.921), corneal curvature along the flat meridian (K1) - 0.024 D (ICC > 0.904), and steep meridian (K2) - 0.210 D (ICC > 0.902), white-to-white corneal diameter (WTW) 0.215 mm (ICC > 0.81). There was excellent agreement for ACD, AL, CCT, K1, K2, and WTW. However, the corneal axis (AX) showed only moderate agreement (ICC > 0.389), with a mean difference of 5.97° and a notable standard deviation of 58.6°.

conclusionsThe Eyestar 900 and Anterion demonstrated substantial agreement for all parameters except for the corneal meridian axis. It may be assumed that the inclusion of eyes with irregular corneal topographies may have contributed to this discrepancy. SUMMARY: Overall, there was a high level of agreement between the Eyestar 900 and Anterion. It is reasonable to assume that the measurement outcomes provided by both devices are interchangeable for the calculation of target refractive outcomes for intraocular lenses, with no clinically relevant differences.
