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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate age-related trends and associations of biometric parameters in the Korean population.

methodsWe retrospectively reviewed the patients who underwent IOLMaster 700 scanning between November 2022 and December 2024. We investigated the correlations between age and ocular biometric parameters-axial length (AL), central corneal thickness (CCT), anterior chamber depth (ACD), lens thickness (LT), corneal power (K), white-to-white distance (WTW), and vitreous chamber depth (VCD).

results2223 eyes (mean age: 71.46 ± 11.12 years) were included. Pearson's correlation analysis showed that AL, ACD, and VCD were moderately negatively correlated with age (p < 0.001), whereas LT was strongly positively correlated with age (p < 0.001). However, multiple linear regression analysis revealed that age was positively associated with LT and ACD (p < 0.001 and p = 0.038, respectively), whereas it was negatively associated with VCD, CCT, K, and WTW (all p < 0.001). AL was not independently associated with age in this model (p = 0.185).

conclusionAge was independently associated with an increase in LT and ACD and a decrease in VCD, CCT, K, and WTW in the Korean population, whereas AL was not independently associated with age. These findings enhance our understanding of ocular aging and associated biometric patterns.
