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

objectiveTo explore corneal biomechanical properties in patients with myopic anisometropia using a corneal visualization scheimpflug technology (Corvis ST).

methodsWe examined 102 eyes from 51 adults with anisometropia (minimum spherical equivalent (SE) of 2.50 D). Patients were classified into two groups based on their SE: high myopia (SE ≥ -6.00 D) (n=52 eyes) and non-high myopia group (SE ≤ -6.00 D) (n=50 eyes). Corneal biomechanical and ocular biometric parameters were measured.

resultsIn the high myopia group, axial length (AL), anterior chamber depth (ACD), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were significantly higher compared to the non-high myopia group (all P < 0.001). The second applanation time (A2-time), length of flattened cornea at second applanation (A2-length), and time to highest concavity (HC-time) were shorter in the high myopia group (all P < 0.001). The high myopia group also exhibited lower elasticity and rigidity indices, higher EAI (all P < 0.001), and greater central/mid-peripheral deformation amplitudes (both P < 0.001), with minimal peripheral differences (P=0.074).

conclusionCorVis ST provides a reliable method for measuring corneal biomechanical properties. In anisometropia, eyes with higher myopia show higher deformation amplitude, faster A2-velocity, shorter A2-time and HC-time, and reduced A2-length.
