Prevalence and clinical associations of relative anterior microphthalmos assessed with an optical biometer.

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
Relative anterior microphthalmos (RAM) is a rare ocular condition characterized by disproportionately small anterior segments but normal axial length (corneal diameter < 11 mm and axial length > 20 mm). This study aimed to determine the prevalence of RAM and its association with glaucoma utilizing IOL Master 700 data (Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany). A retrospective analysis was conducted of the biometric parameters of 6,407 eyes, and 115 cases of RAM were identified. The incidence of glaucoma was assessed, together with the outcomes of cataract surgery in cases of RAM with glaucoma. RAM prevalence was 1.8%. RAM patients had a higher incidence of glaucoma (26.1%), notably of the angle-closure subtype. Cataract surgery significantly reduced intraocular pressure in cases of RAM with glaucoma; however, RAM patients experienced a higher rate of surgical complications. RAM poses clinical challenges due to its association with glaucoma and increased surgical risks. This study emphasizes the importance of advanced diagnostic tools such as the IOL Master in tailoring interventions to optimize patient outcomes.
