Deviation between programmed and actual capsulotomy diameter in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery: a clinical study of influencing factors and predictive modeling.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundDifferences between actual and programmed capsulotomy diameter were found in femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS). This study aimed to evaluate the deviation between the programmed (PDC) and actual (ADC) diameters of the capsulotomy in FLACS, identify the influencing factors, and establish a predictive model to improve the accuracy of capsulotomy size.
methodsThis retrospective study included 47 eyes from 47 adult patients who underwent FLACS. The ADC was measured using Image Pro Plus version 6.0 based on intraoperative video images, and the diameter deviation of the capsulotomy (DDC) was calculated by subtracting the PDC from the ADC. Correlation analysis was used to assess the relationships of demographics and ocular biometrics with ADC and DDC. Multiple linear regression was conducted to develop a model for predicting ADC.
resultsThe mean ADC (5.99 ± 0.34 mm) was significantly greater than the PDC (5.67 ± 0.15 mm, P < 0.001) in the overall cohort. The average DDC was 0.33 ± 0.31 mm, with 63.8% of eyes exhibiting a DDC greater than 0.20 mm. Correlation analysis showed that age was significantly negatively correlated with both ADC and DDC, and this correlation remained significant after adjusting for other ocular biometrics. Stepwise multiple linear regression identified age and PDC as independent predictors for ADC, yielding the following formula: ADC = 2.531 - 0.011·Age + 0.741·PDC (F = 14.265, P < 0.001; adjusted R
conclusionAge was identified as the most significant factor influencing DDC. The proposed regression model for ADC may aid surgeons in preoperative planning for a more accurate and individualized capsulotomy diameter.
