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

BACKGROUND/

aimTo evaluate the influence of preoperative dry eye disease (DED) on the postoperative outcome of second generation keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) surgery. PATIENTS AND

methodsA retrospective cohort study was performed and patients who received second generation KLEx surgery were enrolled. After the categorization, a total of 76, 59, and 65 eyes were put into the non-DED, DED without artificial tear (AT), and DED with AT groups, respectively. The primary outcomes were the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), spherical equivalent (SE), and postoperative complications. The one-way ANOVA was applied for the statistical analysis.

resultsOne day postoperatively, the DED without AT group demonstrated a significantly worse UDVA compared to the other two groups (

conclusionThe presence of preoperative DED is associated with worse postoperative UDVA recovery and refraction of second generation KLEx surgery, which can be prevented by preoperative AT application.
