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

Introduction: This cross-sectional study compared the differences, consistencies, and correlations of the measurements of anterior segment biological parameters between Sirius Plus and Pentacam AXL in a healthy population with myopia. Methods: Eighty patients with myopia (80 eyes) scheduled for refractive surgery at the Ophthalmology Department of the Third People's Hospital of Dalian from December 2024 to June 2025 were included. One eye was randomly selected for each participant, and measurements were taken using Sirius Plus and Pentacam AXL. Fourteen parameters related to the anterior segment were extracted. Results: The differences in the measurements for anterior flat keratometry, anterior vertical/horizontal astigmatism, and anterior oblique astigmatism at 45° between the two devices were not significant, whereas those for the other parameters were significant. The intraclass correlation coefficient values for anterior flat keratometry, anterior steep keratometry, and white-to-white were 0.965, 0.963, and 0.932, respectively. The goodness-of-fit analysis showed that the Discussion: Anterior corneal keratometry and white-to-white had good correlation and consistency, indicating they are suitable mutual reference points for clinical practice.
