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 compare the refractive prediction accuracy of the Optiwave Refractive Analysis (ORA) SYSTEM with the Barrett True-K (BTK) formula in calculating intraocular lens (IOL) power in eyes that underwent cataract surgery after previous myopic photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) or laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients aged ≥22 years with prior myopic PRK or LASIK who underwent unilateral or bilateral cataract removal and monofocal IOL implantation using the ORA SYSTEM at 177 sites in the United States. Two datasets were analyzed: All Eyes (ie, all eligible eyes) and First Surgery Eyes (ie, each patient's first implanted eye). All Eyes were subgrouped by axial length (AL) and further analyzed. The main outcomes included paired differences in absolute prediction errors (APEs) between the ORA SYSTEM and BTK and differences in the proportion of eyes with APEs of ≤0.25 diopter (D) and ≤0.50 D. Results: 1067 eyes were analyzed, including 897 First Surgery Eyes. Significantly higher proportions of All Eyes had APEs of ≤0.25 D ( Conclusion: In post-myopic PRK or LASIK eyes undergoing cataract surgery, the ORA SYSTEM provided significantly more accurate refractive predictability than the BTK formula, as determined by mean and median APE.
