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
purposeThis study aims to systematically evaluate the consistency of total keratometry (TK) and posterior keratometry (PK) measurements obtained by the IOL Master 700 and Pentacam in cataract patients with varying axial lengths (AL).
methodsA total of 240 cataract patients (240 eyes) were recruited from Beijing Tongren Hospital between February and April 2025. Participants were categorized into six groups based on AL: < 22 mm, 22-24 mm, 24-26 mm, 26-28 mm, 28-30 mm, and ≥ 30 mm. All patients underwent preoperative examinations using the IOL Master 700 and Pentacam systems to obtain measurements of TK and PK. The paired t-test or Wilcoxon signed-rank test was employed to evaluate intergroup differences. The Bland-Altman analysis was conducted to assess the 95% limits of agreement (LoA), with calculation of the mean difference.
resultsExcept for the subgroup with AL < 22 mm, the TK measured by the IOL Master 700 was significantly higher than that obtained using the Pentacam across all AL subgroups. The mean difference ranged from 0.005D to 0.406 D, with the width of the 95% LoA varying between 1.071D and 2.382D. For PK, measurements obtained by the IOLMaster 700 were significantly flatter compared to those from the Pentacam across all subgroups. The mean differences ranged from 0.442 to 0.478 D, with the width of the 95% LoA ranging from 0.244 to 0.319 D.
conclusionRegardless of AL, the measurement discrepancies in TK and PK between the two devices exceed the clinically acceptable limits, suggesting that these devices are not interchangeable across patients with varying AL.
