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 identify a method for comparing preoperative axial length (AL) measurements with postoperative AL in submacular hemorrhage (SMH). STUDY

designRetrospective.

methodsThis study included 30 patients who underwent vitrectomy for SMH (January 2016-January 2023) with preoperative and postoperative AL data. Preoperative AL was obtained using ultrasonography for the affected eye (aUS-AL) and compared to those measured using optical biometry (OB) for the affected and fellow eyes (aOB-AL and fOB-AL, respectively). Postoperative AL (aPost-AL) was defined as the AL of the affected eye by OB. The absolute differences between the preoperative AL (aUS-AL, aOB-AL, and fOB-AL) and aPost-AL were assessed.

resultsaUS-AL, aOB-AL, and fOB-AL values were 23.50 ± 1.41 mm, 23.32 ± 1.40 mm, and 23.66 ± 1.45 mm, respectively, correlating strongly with aPost-AL (23.54 ± 1.37 mm) (all R > 0.95). fOB-AL exceeded aPost-AL significantly (P = 0.02). In all 30 eyes, absolute differences between preoperative AL and aPost-AL were 0.19 ± 0.18 mm, 0.28 ± 0.32 mm, and 0.21 ± 0.22 mm, respectively, which were not significantly different from each other (all P > 0.05). In nine eyes with SMH height > 1000 μm or unmeasurable, the absolute difference between aOB-AL and aPost-AL (0.42 ± 0.33 mm) exceeded that of aUS-AL and aPost-AL (0.10 ± 0.09 mm) (P = 0.003).

conclusionAlthough aUS-AL, aOB-AL, and fOB-AL correlated well with postoperative AL in patients with SMH, fOB-AL may be measured longer and aOB-AL shorter in some cases. Therefore, aUS-AL may be considered primarily in determining IOL power of cataract surgery performed in combination with SMH displacement.
