Comparative Analysis of Anterior Segment Biometry: Agreement and Correlation between Swept-Source Optical Coherence Tomography and Scheimpflug-Based Platforms.
Article in Korean journal of ophthalmology : KJO, 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
purposeTo evaluate the inter-device agreement of keratometry, central corneal thickness (CCT), pupil diameter (PD), and white-to-white (WTW) measurements among three anterior segment biometers: Anterion (Heidelberg Engineering), Pentacam HR (Oculus), and IOLMaster 700 (Carl Zeiss Meditec).
methodsThis retrospective study analyzed 165 eyes of 88 patients who underwent measurements using all three devices on the same day under standardized mesopic illumination. Parameters included anterior and total keratometry, CCT, PD, and WTW. Agreement was assessed using repeated-measures ANOVA, intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC), Bland-Altman analysis, and Deming regression.
resultsAnterior keratometry (simulated keratometry [SimK]) and CCT showed excellent agreement (ICC ≥ 0.96) with minimal bias (<0.2 diopters and approximately 8 μm, respectively). The IOLMaster 700 measured slightly steeper keratometry than the Anterion, whereas the Pentacam yielded thicker CCT values than both IOLMaster 700 and Anterion. Total keratometry exhibited larger discrepancies than anterior keratometry. The Anterion reported smaller WTW measurements than the IOLMaster 700. Deming regression revealed proportional bias in total keratometry and constant bias in CCT and PD across the three devices.
conclusionsAlthough SimK and CCT showed a strong statistical agreement, they were not found to be fully interchangeable. The need for consistent use of devices or validated conversion methods in clinical settings is emphasized by the significant differences in total keratometry, PD, and WTW. These findings are clinically relevant for proper cataract surgery, refractive surgery planning, and diagnosis of corneal diseases.
