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: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between binocular imbalance and myopic shift in unoperated eyes after unilateral small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) and transepithelial photorefractive keratectomy (tPRK) procedures. Methods: This study included 51 participants who had undergone unilateral SMILE (n = 28) or tPRK (n = 23) for at least 3 months. The participants were categorized into stable and myopic shift groups based on the difference between preoperative and postoperative spherical equivalent refractive (SER) errors of unoperated eyes. Psychophysical tests were conducted only at the postoperative follow-up point. Spatial sensory eye dominance was determined by analyzing a binocular orientation combination task at spatial frequencies of 1 and 6 cycles per degree (c/d). A rotating cylinder generated a spontaneous Pulfrich phenomenon to determine the interocular delay at spatial frequencies of 0.95 and 2.95 c/d. Results: The logrBP in the myopic shift group was significantly more negative than in the stable group at 1 c/d (P < 0.01) and 6 c/d (P < 0.01). And logrBP correlated with the difference between preoperative and postoperative SER of the unoperated eye at 1 c/d (rs = 0.513, P < 0.001) and 6 c/d (rs = 0.504, P < 0.001). In the myopic shift group, logrBP was more negative at 6 c/d than at 1 c/d (P = 0.013), but not in the stable group. Conclusions: Patients who experience myopic shift in the unoperated eye after unilateral SMILE or tPRK tend to have stronger sensory eye dominance in that eye, with a more pronounced dominance at higher spatial frequencies.
