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

Background: To investigate the impact of refractive and ocular residual astigmatism (ORA) on stereopsis after photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) for the correction of myopic astigmatism. Methods: This prospective observational study was conducted on patients who underwent PRK for the treatment of myopia and myopic astigmatism using a Schwind Amaris 1050RS excimer laser system. Stereoacuity was measured using the Stereo Fly Test before and after the surgery. We evaluated the impact of pre-op refractive and internal astigmatic components on stereopsis outcome after surgery. To calculate ORA, we calculated the vectorial difference between corneal plane refractive astigmatism and keratometric astigmatism. Results: Ninety-six eyes from 96 patients including 70 females (72.9%) with a mean age of 29.83 ± 7.39 years were enrolled. The average stereoacuity measured in log units before and after PRK was 1.65 ± 0.09 and 1.63 ± 0.07, respectively ( Conclusion: This study showed the potential relationship between higher astigmatism and the enhancement of stereopsis after PRK. Furthermore, our study found no significant impact of ORA on the outcomes of stereopsis following PRK.
