A Novel MATLAB-Based Quantification of Microincision Cyclotorsion and Its Impact on Myopic Astigmatism Correction in KLEx.

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
Purpose: To develop an automated image recognition method for the identification of corneal microincisions in keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) and assess microincisional cyclotorsion and its impact on postoperative astigmatism correction using vector analysis. Methods: This retrospective study included 92 patients (184 eyes) who underwent KLEx. Postoperative slit-lamp images were analyzed using a custom MATLAB-based program. The cyclotorsion angle and direction of the microincisions were quantified. Vector analysis was used to evaluate postoperative astigmatism correction at one week, one month, and three months. Correlations between cyclotorsion magnitude and preoperative ocular parameters were analyzed, and astigmatic outcomes were compared between low (≤ 4°) and high (> 4°) cyclotorsion groups. Results: The mean absolute microincision cyclotorsion angle was 4.19° ± 2.92° (range: 0°-12.43°) in right eyes and 4.53° ± 3.36° (range: 0°-13.74°) in left eyes, with no significant interocular difference ( Conclusion: An automated MATLAB-based method can be used to quantify the cyclotorsional movement of microincisions in KLEx. The magnitude of corneal microincisional cyclotorsion does not appear to have a significant effect on the efficacy of corneal astigmatism correction.
