The effect of preoperative total antioxidant capacity on short-term outcomes after kerato-lenticule extraction surgery.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
To evaluate influence of total antioxidant capacity expression (TAC) on outcome of kerato-lenticule extraction (KLEx). A prospective non-randomized trial was conducted and patients received KLEx were categorized via TAC concentration. A total of 56 and 36 eyes were enrolled into the low TAC and high TAC groups. The main outcomes are the postoperative un-corrected visual acuity (UCVA), refraction and superficial keratitis between groups. The generalized liner model was applied for statistical analysis. One month after the KLEx surgery, the UCVA was significantly higher in the high TAC group (P = 0.028), and low TAC group associated with superficial keratitis risk compared to high TAC group (P = 0.035). The trends of TAC and ascorbic acid (AA) decrements were more significant in the low TAC group (both P < 0.05). Low TAC population and old age correlated to poor UCVA (both P < 0.05) while the thick CCT correlated to better UCVA (P = 0.030). Besides, the low TAC population (P = 0.032) correlated to higher superficial keratitis rate, while old age (P = 0.018) correlated to lower superficial keratitis rate. The presence of low TAC expression correlated to worse UCVA and higher risk of superficial keratitis after KLEx.
