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: Cataract surgery aims to restore clear vision by replacing the clouded crystalline lens with an intraocular lens (IOL). Accurate IOL power calculation is crucial to achieve desirable postoperative refractive outcomes. Objective: The aim of this study was to compare the predictive accuracy of multiple intraocular lens (IOL) power calculation formulas in eyes with prior LASIK surgery using two biometric devices, LenStar 900 and IOLMaster 500, combined with immersion ultrasound (US). Methods: This retrospective observational study included 37 eyes of 29 patients who underwent previous LASIK and subsequent cataract surgery. Biometric measurements included axial length, keratometry, anterior chamber depth, and lens thickness, which were obtained using LenStar 900 (19 eyes) or IOLMaster 500 combined with US (18 eyes). IOL power was calculated using the Shammas PL, Haigis-L, Barrett TK no history, Shammas Cooke, and EVO 2.0 (without PK1/PK2). The mean absolute error (MAE) at 3 months postoperatively was assessed for each formula within each device group. Results: For LenStar 900, the MAE ranged from 0.389 ± 0.329 D (Barrett TK no history) to 0.574 ± 0.689 D (Shammas Cooke), with no significant differences among the formulas. For IOLMaster 500 + US, the MAE ranged from 0.423 ± 0.210 D (Barrett TK no history) to 0.601 ± 0.510 D (Shammas Cooke). Comparisons between devices revealed significantly lower MAE with LenStar 900 for Shammas PL, Shammas Cooke, and EVO 2.0, whereas differences for Haigis-L and Barrett TK showed no significant differences. Conclusion: IOL power prediction in post-LASIK eyes varied according to the biometry device. Barrett TK had no history, and EVO performed well with LenStar 900, while Haigis-L showed consistent accuracy across devices, suggesting that it may be the most reliable formula when using non-synchronous biometry systems.
