Visual outcome in hypermetropic eye post-refractive surgery: retrospective cohort study.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: Correction of hypermetropia with laser refractive surgery is considered difficult and challenging compared to myopia, with few studies to make evidence-based decisions. This study assessed visual outcomes and complications in hypermetropic patients after refractive surgery. Methods: This retrospective cohort study included 105 patients with hypermetropia who underwent either laser Results: The patient cohort had a mean age of 38.1 ± 12.0 years, 67 (63.8%) of the patients were female, and laser Conclusion: Refractive surgery significantly improved visual outcomes in hypermetropic patients. Dry eye was the predominant complication, with higher rates found in females and patients who underwent photo-refractive keratectomy. Studies with extended follow-up are needed to evaluate the long-term complications and sustained efficacy of refractive surgery in hypermetropic patients.
