Five Years Follow-Up Outcomes of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery on Patients with Preexisting Corneal Astigmatism.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Purpose: Evaluating the long-term clinical efficacy and safety of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery for correcting corneal astigmatism. Patients and Methods: In this cohort study on follow-up records from preoperative, postoperative 1 week, 1 month, 3 months, 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years, thirty-four eyes with cataract and corneal astigmatism (>0.50D) were treated with corneal arcuate incisions and femtosecond-laser assisted cataract surgery in Vietnam National Eye Hospital, from January 2017 to February 2023. Results: The rate of postoperative refraction spherical equivalent was within ± 0.50D and ± 1.0D at 3 months (in 91.2% and 100% of the eyes, respectively). The average of preoperative corneal astigmatism was 1.63 ± 0.886D, decreased to 0.53 ± 0.628D in the third month after surgery and stable to 5 years. Surgically induced astigmatism was 1.09 ± 0.413D, which indicated under-correction. However, no complications were recorded. Conclusion: The femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery is safe and long effective in correcting the corneal astigmatism in patients with preexisting corneal astigmatism.
