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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study aimed to evaluate astigmatism after cataract surgery by comparing the use of an intraoperative aberrometer combined with an image-guided system (VLynk) PATIENTS AND

methodsThe main outcomes included the corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), astigmatism, spherical equivalent (SE) status, and the predicting factors for reduced astigmatism in the two groups.

resultsIn this study, 73 patients were enrolled in the study group (VLynk); 76 individuals constituted the control group (Verion). Preoperative and postoperative CDVA between both groups were similar (all

conclusionVLynk is correlated with better postoperative astigmatism control and predictability compared to Verion in patients with significant lens opacity.
