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

purposeTo evaluate the long-term outcomes of anterior segment parameters following implantable collamer lens (ICL V4c) implantation in highly myopic patients.

settingA tertiary specialized eye hospital in Shanghai, China.

designProspective, non-randomized, consecutive case series.

methodsThis study included 32 eyes of 20 patients with high myopia who underwent ICL V4c implantation with a 3-year follow-up. Preoperative assessments included standard biometry and anterior segment parameters. Postoperative evaluations were conducted at 1 day, 1 month, 3 months, and 3 years. Parameters assessed included corneal endothelium-anterior capsule distance (ACD-L), corneal endothelium-ICL distance (ACD-ICL), ICL-anterior capsule distance (ICL-L), anterior chamber angle (ACA) parameters, and iris metrics.

resultsACD-L decreased significantly postoperatively from baseline to 1 day (P < 0.001) but remained stable thereafter (e.g.,P = 0.397 between 1 day and 3 years). ACD-ICL increased over time, while ICL-L (vault) decreased significantly (P < 0.001), with the most pronounced changes occurring in the first month. All ACA parameters (ACW, AOD500, ARA500, TISA500, TIA500) decreased significantly compared to preoperative values (all P < 0.001) but showed no significant differences among postoperative follow-up points. Iris area (IA) and iris volume (IV) showed transient changes at 1 day post-surgery but returned to baseline levels thereafter (P = 0.302 for IA and P = 0.330 for IV at 3 years versus baseline).

conclusionsDuring the 3-year follow-up of ICL V4c implantation, a gradual increase in ACD-ICL was significantly associated with vault reduction.
