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

aimTo evaluate the corneal biomechanical properties in patients with angioid streaks (AS), and to compare these parameters with those of healthy subjects.

methodsA retrospective study was conducted, enrolling AS patients and healthy participants as controls. The collected corneal tomographic parameters included flat keratometry, steep keratometry, mean keratometry, maximum keratometry, topographic cylinder value, central corneal thickness, and the total deviation value of the Belin-Ambrósio enhanced ectasia display measured with Pentacam tomography. Corvis ST was used to measure corneal biomechanical parameters, non-contact tonometry intraocular pressure (IOPnct), and biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP).

resultsThe study comprised 18 eyes from 10 male and 8 female AS patients with a mean age of 48.83±10.66y, and the controls included 31 eyes from 12 male and 19 female healthy participants with a mean age of 47.87±10.69y. All corneal tomographic parameters were comparable between the two groups (all

conclusionEyes with AS exhibit normal corneal tomographic characteristics and increased corneal stiffness.
