Clinical outcomes of image-guided cyclotorsion compensation during KLEx with the VISUMAX 800 in the absence of integrated software.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 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
backgroundKeratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) is an established procedure for correcting myopia and myopic astigmatism. However, static cyclotorsion during patient positioning can reduce the accuracy of astigmatic correction, especially on platforms without integrated cyclotorsion compensation. This study evaluated the clinical outcomes of image-guided manual cyclotorsion compensation using the Callisto Eye system during KLEx performed with the VISUMAX 800.
methodsThis retrospective study included 130 eyes of 130 patients who underwent KLEx with the VISUMAX 800 femtosecond laser and manual image-guided cyclotorsion compensation. Eyes were divided according to preoperative astigmatism into Group 1 (≥ 1.50 D, 50 eyes) and Group 2 (< 1.50 D, 80 eyes). Visual acuity, refractive outcomes, and higher-order aberrations were evaluated preoperatively and at 1 and 6 months postoperatively. Astigmatic correction was assessed using Alpins vector analysis.
resultsAt 6 months, uncorrected and corrected distance visual acuity were better in Group 2, which also had lower residual refractive cylinder. Spherical equivalent outcomes were similar between the groups. No eye lost two or more lines of corrected distance visual acuity. Refractive predictability was high overall, with most eyes achieving spherical equivalent values close to the intended target. Vector analysis showed a correction index closer to 1.0 and a lower difference vector in Group 2, whereas eyes with higher preoperative astigmatism showed a mild tendency toward undercorrection. Postoperative higher-order aberrations were generally similar between the groups.
conclusionsKLEx performed with the VISUMAX 800 using image-guided manual cyclotorsion compensation provided favorable visual, refractive, and astigmatic outcomes. This approach may be a practical option when integrated cyclotorsion compensation software is not available, although eyes with higher preoperative astigmatism may still show mild undercorrection.
