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 derive a regression formula estimating an individualized postoperative vault threshold associated with narrow-angle status from preoperative angle measurements and to evaluate an implantable collamer lens (ICL) sizing approach incorporating this formula. Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included a formula-derivation cohort of 97 eyes treated from April 2024 to March 2025 and a CEC-implementation cohort of 162 eyes treated from April 2025 to March 2026. The 360° angle opening distance at 500 μm (AOD500) was measured by anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT; CASIA2, TOMEY). Postoperative angle status was classified by the device's Narrow Angle Index (NAI) software. Eyes open in all 32 radial directions formed the open group; those narrow or closed in at least one direction formed the narrow group. A threshold formula was derived from the relationship between preoperative AOD500 and postoperative vault among the 29 narrow-group eyes of the derivation cohort. In the CEC-implementation cohort, the formula's discrimination of postoperative angle status was assessed, and its association with postoperative narrow-angle classification was examined using multivariable logistic regression with generalized estimating equations. The threshold formula was used alongside the KS and NK formulas and a previously reported equation for predicting postoperative trabecular-iris angle (post-TIA) to select a lens size with a predicted vault below the calculated threshold. Results: The derived formula was as follows: threshold (mm) = 0.9091 × preoperative AOD500 (mm) - 0.0493. In the CEC-implementation cohort, the formula yielded a sensitivity of 73.7% (14/19 eyes), specificity of 94.4% (135/143 eyes), and area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.922 (95% confidence interval, 0.857-0.972; P < 0.001). In the multivariable analysis, use of the threshold formula was associated with lower odds of postoperative narrow-angle classification (odds ratio, 0.311; 95% confidence interval, 0.138-0.704; P = 0.005). Conclusion: An ICL sizing approach incorporating a preoperative angle-based threshold formula (the CEC method) was associated with a lower frequency of postoperative narrow-angle classification and warrants further prospective validation.
