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

Purpose: To compare postoperative refractive error (PE) calculated using intraocular lens (IOL) calculation formulas based on initial and remeasured ocular parameters in cases of delayed cataract surgery. Patients and Methods: Patients who underwent delayed cataract surgery (ie, postponed for > 3 months) between February 2017 and April 2025 were included. Initial and remeasured ocular parameters were compared, namely axial length, mean keratometric power, anterior chamber depth (ACD), and lens thickness (LT). Expected refractions were calculated using the Sanders-Retzlaff-Kraff/Theoretical (SRK/T), Haigis, Barrett Universal II (BU II), Kane, and Emmetropia Verifying Optical (EVO) formulas. PEs were compared between the initial and remeasured data for each IOL calculation formula. Results: The study included 57 eyes from 57 patients. Cataract surgery was delayed for an average of 14 months. Comparing the initial versus remeasured data, ACD deeper significantly and LT thinner significantly among the ocular parameters. The mean PE indicated a significant myopic shift for both the Haigis formula (0.02 D to -0.05 D) and EVO formula (0.00 D to -0.06 D) (paired Conclusion: It was suggested that the characteristics of each IOL calculation formula must be taken into consideration when selecting IOL power for delayed surgery.
