Impact of Ocular Residual Astigmatism on Visual and Refractive Outcomes Following Photorefractive Keratectomy.

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
Background: The aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of ocular residual astigmatism (ORA) on refractive and visual outcomes following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) in myopic astigmatism patients. Materials and Methods: This analytical cross-sectional study was performed on patients who underwent PRK. Patients were evaluated for refractive error, visual acuity, and keratometry before and six months after surgery. To calculate the ORA, vectorial differences between corneal plane refractive astigmatism and keratometric astigmatism were established. Results: Two hundred and six eyes from 206 patients including 117 females (56.8%), with a mean age of 32.32 ± 7.03 years were enrolled. The mean ORA was 0.79 ± 0.35 D. There was a negative correlation between cylinder magnitude (r = -0.24, Conclusion: We found comparable visual outcomes between eyes with low and high ORA that were treated with PRK. Patients with ATR astigmatism had more ORA and the success of astigmatism surgery was lower in patients with a higher ORA.
