Agreement between Sirius Scheimpflug-Placido tomography and Anterion swept-source OCT in keratoconic eyes stratified by prior corneal cross-linking: a retrospective cross-sectional agreement study.

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
aimThis study aims to assess the agreement between the Scheimpflug-Placido tomographer (Sirius) and the anterior-segment swept-source optical coherence tomography (Anterion) in evaluating anterior segment parameters separately in keratoconus (KC) patients with and without corneal cross-linking (CXL).
methodsA retrospective analysis was conducted on 108 eyes of patients with keratoconus (KC), divided into two groups according to previous corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) status: eyes with prior CXL (wCXL group, n = 72) and eyes without CXL (woCXL group, n = 36). Evaluated parameters included anterior and posterior keratometric measurements, pachymetric measurements, anterior chamber parameters, corneal astigmatism, and corneal shape/elevation-related indices. Measurements from both devices were compared using Bland-Altman analysis, assessing fixed and proportional biases. Agreement between devices was interpreted based on the combination of absence of significant fixed bias, absence of proportional bias, and the width of the 95% limits of agreement (LoA).
resultsIn the wCXL group, anterior astigmatism (ant-Ast) and anterior best-fit toric ellipsoid (ant-BFT) demonstrated the most favorable bias characteristics. In the woCXL group, ant-Ast, ACD, posterior K1, and posterior Kmean showed favorable bias characteristics.
conclusionsAlthough ant-Ast and ant-BFT in the wCXL group and ACD, ant-Ast, posterior K1, and posterior Kmean in the woCXL group demonstrated no statistically significant fixed or proportional bias, the relatively wide LoA do not support interchangeable use of Sirius and Anterion for these measurements.
