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

This study aimed to evaluate whether clear corneal incisions (CCIs) created with the FEMTO LDV Z8 femtosecond laser during cataract surgery are non-inferior to manual CCIs in terms of surgically induced astigmatism (SIA) and higher-order aberrations (HOAs). A total of 78 cataract patients were randomly assigned to two groups: 38 eyes underwent femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), and 40 eyes underwent conventional manual cataract surgery (CCS). Preoperative and six-week postoperative SIA, HOAs, and all topographic and refractive data were analysed for both groups. FLACS-generated CCIs demonstrated equivalence to manual CCIs. The mean SIA was 0.44 ± 0.27 dioptres (D) in the FLACS group and 0.58 ± 0.46 D in the CCS group (
