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

aimTo predict the post-operative vault and the suitable size of the implantable collamer lens (ICL) by comparing the performance of multiple artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms.

methodsA retrospective analysis of 83 patients with 132 eyes was conducted from 2020 to 2023. All patients underwent implantation of EVO-V4C ICLs. ICLs were selected based on STAAR's recommended formula. Postoperative vault values were measured using anterior segment optical coherence tomography (ASOCT). First, feature selection was performed on patients' preoperative examination parameters to identify those most closely related to postoperative vault and incorporate them into the machine learning model. Subsequently, four regression models, namely MLP, XGBoost, RFR, and KNN, were employed to predict the vault, and their predictive performances were compared. The ICL size was set as the prediction target, with the vault and other input features serving as new inputs for predicting the ICL size.

resultsAmong all preoperative parameters, 16 parameters were most closely related to postoperative vault and were included in the prediction model. In vault prediction, XGBoost performed the best in the regression model (

conclusionAI effectively predicts postoperative vault and determines ICL size. XGBoost outperforms other machine-learning algorithms tested. Its accurate predictions help ophthalmologists choose the right ICL size, ensuring proper vaulting.
