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

To compare the refractive outcomes and biometric predictability after cataract surgery (PHACO) with those of PHACO combined with GATT and Kahook Dual Blade (KDB) goniotomy. This is a comparative, retrospective, multicenter study. One or both eyes of patients who had undergone PHACO (control group; CG) and those who had undergone combined PHACO and GATT (GI) or KDB (GII) that had been followed for at least 2 months were analyzed. The refraction observed on postoperative day 60 ± 15 was compared with the refraction predicted by the Barrett II Suite using VERION (Alcon, Fort Worth, TX, USA). Possible confounding factors were analyzed using multivariate regression analysis. A total of 292 eyes (CG = 92, GI = 135, and GII = 65) were included. No statistically significant differences were observed among the groups in terms of the means of the absolute variations (expected refraction-manifest refraction) in the sphere (CG = 0.03 ± 0.52 D, GI = -0.01 ± 0.78 D, and GII = -0.21 ± 1.30 D; p = 0.841), cylinder (CG = -0.15 ± 0.49 D, GI = -0.08 ± 1.02 D, and GII = -0.13 ± 0.82 D; p = 0.132), and axis of astigmatism (CG = 7.74 ± 43.31°, GI = 7.98 ± 48.21°, and GII = 14.80 ± 44.08°; p = 0.508). Corneal curvature was the only predictor that achieved statistical significance (p < 0.001); however, only a weak correlation was observed when the final sphere result (r
