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
Introduction: Accurate intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement is vital in glaucoma management, yet the gold standard (Goldmann applanation tonometry) is limited to seated measurements. Rebound tonometers like the Icare IC200 and the newer SK-5500B offer portability for assessing posture-induced IOP changes, but their measurement consistency requires validation. This study aims to evaluate the agreement and repeatability of IOP measurements between the SK-5500B and Icare IC200 tonometers in sitting and supine positions. Methods: This prospective study recruited 59 subjects (97 eyes). IOP was measured in both sitting and supine positions by two masked operators using the SK-5500B and Icare IC200 tonometers in a randomized sequence. Subjects were categorized into four groups based on their baseline non-contact tonometry (NCT) readings (<10 mmHg, 10-21 mmHg, 22-30 mmHg, and >30 mmHg). Agreement was assessed using Pearson's correlation and Bland-Altman analysis. Correlation was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient (r). Intra- and inter-operator repeatability were determined by within-subject standard deviation (Sw), coefficient of variation (CV), and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The correlation between the device and central corneal thickness (CCT) or axial length (AL) was also analyzed. Results: The SK-5500B and Icare IC200 showed a strong positive correlation across all conditions (both positions and both operators) (r ≥ 0.90, Conclusion: Despite wide limits of agreement in Bland-Altman analysis, the SK-5500B showed good agreement and highly comparable repeatability with the Icare IC200 in both sitting and supine positions, supporting its potential as a practical clinical alternative.
