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

aimTo assess the visual outcomes and corneal biomechanical properties of myopia patients between laser

methodsThis prospective study analyzed 52 consecutive myopia patients treated with LASIK Xtra and 45 consecutive myopia patients treated with LASIK. Only the right eyes in the two groups were analyzed. The uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), keratometry values, postoperative central corneal thickness (CCT), corneal demarcation line depth, the corneal compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), Goldmann-correlated IOP (IOPg), corneal resistance factor (CRF) and corneal hysteresis (CH) from Ocular Response Analyzer (ORA) were analyzed. Further, the correlation between the demarcation line depth and ORA-related biomechanical parameters were analyzed.

resultsNo significant differences in UDVA, postoperative CCT, or mean K values were found between the 2 groups at 1 to 12mo postoperative follow-up (all

conclusionBoth procedures demonstrate comparable outcomes in terms of visual acuity, refraction and ablation predictability. This study confirms that corneal biomechanical properties of the included patients weakened after both procedures, but the cornea after LASIK Xtra are stiffer than conventional LASIK.
