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

purposeTo investigate the correlation between anterior chamber depth (ACD), anterior chamber angle (ACA), anterior chamber volume (ACV), and IOP with white-to-white (WTW) corneal diameter in myopic eyes.

methodsThis prospective study conducted at Qassim University, included 163 myopic eyes. Refraction was measured using an autorefractometer, axial length (AL) using IOL Master, and anterior chamber parameters, WTW corneal diameter, and central corneal thickness (CCT) using Pentacam. IOP was assessed with a non-contact tonometer. Correlation analysis was used to assess associations between measured parameters and WTW corneal diameter.

resultsFor myopic eyes (spherical equivalent: -3.90 ± 1.75 D), mean ocular parameters were: ACD 3.18 ± 0.23 mm, ACA 40.02 ± 3.75°, ACV 194.19 ± 18.75 mm³, IOP 18.9 ± 2.90 mmHg, and WTW 12.06 ± 0.38 mm. Bivariate analysis showed WTW corneal diameter positively correlated with ACD, ACV, ACA, AL, CCT, and IOP (P < 0.001). Multiple regression revealed age, myopia severity, AL, and CCT explained 43.6% of WTW variance, 32.7% in ACD, 26.7% in ACA, 23.0% in ACV, and 47.1% in IOP. Age was positively associated with WTW, ACA, and ACV (P < 0.001). Myopia severity was negatively associated with ACA and positively with ACV (P < 0.05). AL correlated positively with WTW, ACD, ACA, and IOP (P < 0.05), while CCT was significantly associated with most parameters (P < 0.05).

conclusionLarger WTW corneal diameter predicts deeper anterior chamber and higher IOP in myopic eyes. High myopia shows posterior eye segment expansion with limited anterior growth, and an age-related changes indicate structural remodeling during ongoing myopia progression differs from classical physiological patterns. These findings underscore the importance of WTW corneal diameter as a significant predictor of ocular biometry and refractive development, particularly in young populations with progressing myopia.
