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

purposeTo compare the clarity of images displayed on a 3D local dimming technology (LDT) monitor (LMD-XH550MT) to that on a conventional 3D monitor (LMD-X550MT) integrated into the Artevo 800 STUDY

designLaboratory investigation

methodsSix vitreoretinal surgeons evaluated the clarity of the surgical field on photographs displayed simultaneously on 2 monitors during cataract and vitreous surgery by the Artevo 800

resultsThe mean visibility scores were significantly higher with the LDT monitor at 4.7±0.1 than with the conventional monitor at 2.9±0.1 (P<0.001). The visibility scores for anterior capsulotomy (P=0.034), phacoemulsification (P=0.036), cortex aspiration (P=0.036), core vitrectomy (P=0.035), peeling of epiretinal membrane (P=0.036), and ILM (P=0.036) were significantly higher with the LDT monitor than with the conventional monitor. The absolute value of skewness during anterior segment surgery was significantly lower with the LDT monitor (0.20±0.05) than with the conventional monitor (-0.44±0.06, P=0.03).

conclusionHigher contrast with the LDT monitor was attained by adjusting the backlight brightness according to the brightness of the images, which provided better image clarity for 3D heads-up cataract and vitreous surgery.
