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
Purpose: To compare the refractive effects of paired-opposite clear corneal incision (p-OCCI) with-the-rule (WTR), against-the-rule (ATR) and oblique astigmatism. Methods: This retrospective study was conducted in 131 patients undergoing uneventful cataract surgery.In all cases, a 2.4 mm p-OCCI was made 180 degrees opposite to the meridian of the vertical axis.Preoperative and 6-month postoperative keratometry values obtained from partial coherence interferometry were used to calculate corrected keratometric astigmatism and vectorial analysis parameters were calculated by Alpins method.These parameters were surgically induced astigmatism (SIA), target induced astigmatism (TIA), correction index (CI), angle of error (AE), difference vector (DV), flattening effect (FE). Results: There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of uncorrected and best corrected visual acuities (p>0.05).Mean corrected keratometric astigmatism values were 1.06±0.15 D in WTR astigmatism group, 1.21±0.35 D in ATR astigmatism group and 1.15±0.29 D in oblique astigmatism group (p>0.05).SIA value was 1.15±0.54 D in WTR astigmatism group, 0.79 ± 0.31 D in ATR astigmatism group and 0.53 ± 0.14 D in oblique astigmatism group (p=0.006).In terms of FE,there was no statistically significant difference between the WTR and oblique astigmatism groups, while it was lowest in the ATR astigmatism group (p>0.05, p=0.03,respectively).The CI value was similar in the WTR and ATR astigmatism groups, but lower in the oblique astigmatism group (p>0.05, p=0.04,respectively).There was no significant difference between the three groups in terms of TIA, AE and DV (p>0.05). Conclusion: Although the corneal astigmatism-correcting effect of p-OCCI is similar in different types of astigmatism,p-OCCI may be less predictable in oblique astigmatism.
