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

Background: To comprehensively explore the biometry related to suboptimal vault (including low and high vault) after implantable collamer lens (ICL) implantation and the risk factors associated with ICL. Methods: This retrospective case-control study enrolled 180 patients with myopia and astigmatism who underwent EVO-V4c ICL implantation at Peking Union Medical College Hospital between January 2023 and December 2024. The normal vault group (NVG) was randomly selected from eligible patients during the same period to ensure balanced group sizes and reduce selection bias. Patients were divided into three groups based on the postoperative vault: low vault group (LVG, <250 μm, Results: The results indicated significant differences in age, ACD, WTW, ATA, AL, and CLR among the three groups of patients ( Conclusions: Low vault is independently associated with greater CLR, whereas high vault is independently linked to deeper ACD and higher SE. Age, WTW, ATA, and AL also demonstrate significant but varying associations with vault type. These findings underscore the importance of integrating CLR and ATA measurements into routine preoperative assessment. Employing a more individualized sizing strategy-particularly in patients with deeper ACD or pronounced CLR-could enhance vault predictability and improve postoperative safety.
