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.

Abstract

objectiveTo assess refractive and visual outcomes of a spherical Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) followed by planned postoperative adjunctive laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) in the treatment of high compound hyperopic astigmatism.

methodsIn this prospective, multi-center, multi-surgeon, single-arm trial, eyes with ≥ 3.50 D hyperopia and ≥ 2.00 D of astigmatism underwent surgery receiving a spherical Implantable Collamer Lens (ICL) followed by a planned adjunctive LASIK postoperatively. Outcomes measures included postoperative uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), manifest refraction, spherical (SEQ) and defocus equivalent (DEQ), efficacy index, safety index, and astigmatism vector analyses.

results48 eyes had a mean sphere of 6.18 ± 1.35 D and mean cylinder of 2.69 ± 0.89 D preoperatively. After ICL and LASIK, 94% of eyes achieved a UDVA within 1 line of preoperative CDVA. Efficacy and safety indices were 0.94 ± 0.13 and 1.00 ± 0.13, respectively. We obtained near-to-emmetropia SEQ postoperatively (mean - 0.03 ± 0.43D), and the scatterplot of attempted versus achieved refractive correction revealed a predictable procedure (R

conclusionSpherical ICL with postoperative adjunctive LASIK was safe with good early visual and refractive outcomes. The combined modality is a promising approach to treating high compound hyperopic astigmatism where toric hyperopic ICL is not available.

trial registrationThis trial was retrospectively registered on ClinicalTrials.gov with the trial registration number NCT06742541.
