Evaluation of Corneal Higher-Order Aberrations by Pentacam HR in Rural Population of Iran.

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: To determine the distribution of corneal higher-order aberrations (HOAs) measured by pentacam HR in a rural Iranian population and their relationship with age, sex, and refractive errors. Methods: In this study, sampling was performed from villages in the north and southwest of Iran using the multistage stratified random cluster sampling method. The ocular examination included measurement of uncorrected and best-corrected visual acuity, refraction, and slit-lamp biomicroscopy. Finally, all study participants underwent corneal imaging using Pentacam HR. Results: The mean root-mean-square (RMS) (±standard error) of total HOA in the anterior and posterior corneal surfaces was 0.498 ± 0.004 μm and 0.212 ± 0.001 μm, respectively. The mean RMS of anterior and posterior spherical aberration was 0.270 ± 0.002 μm and -0.134 ± 0.001 μm, respectively. The mean RMS of anterior horizontal and vertical coma was -0.084 ± 0.003 μm and 0.029 ± 0.004 μm, respectively. The mean RMS of posterior horizontal and vertical coma was 0.011 ± 0.001 μm and -0.011 ± 0.001 μm, respectively. The anterior HOAs were significantly different between age, sex, and refractive groups (all Conclusions: The amounts of HOAs in the present study were different from previous studies, and these residence place differences (urban/rural) in the HOAs should be taken into account when designing refractive surgery nomograms and therapeutic and diagnostic considerations in each population. Moreover, the corneal HOAs, especially on the anterior surface, increased significantly with aging.
