Comparison of dynamic changes in the effective optical zone in Low-Moderate and high myopia with a novel method and visual outcomes after SMILE surgery: A 6-Month clinical study.

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
To investigate changes in the Effective Optical Zone (EOZ) using a novel method, evaluate visual outcomes within six months following Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE), and analyze the changes in postoperative visual outcomes. This retrospective study evaluated patients who underwent SMILE and were assessed during a 6-month follow-up. 95 eyes were divided into two groups: low to moderate myopia (LM, SE ranging from - 0.50D to -6.00D) and high myopia (HM, SE ranging from - 6.00D to -9.00D). Postoperative EOZ was automatically distinguished by custom software on the tangential curvature difference map. Higher-order aberrations (HOAs), Q-values, and Strehl ratios (SR) were analyzed for the central 4 mm and 6 mm corneal zones. Changes in EOZ (△-OZ) and other parameters were monitored and compared between the two groups. The EOZ was significantly larger in LM group than in HM group (25.45 ± 2.19 vs. 23.88 ± 1.53mm
