Treatment of corneal ulcers: when is surgery indicated?
Review in Journal of feline medicine and surgery, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
practical relevanceWhile corneal ulcers in cats frequently arise secondarily to feline herpesvirus (FHV-1) infection, and thus medical therapy is often indicated, other causes include trauma, eyelid abnormalities (agenesis, entropion, dermoids and neoplasia), tear film abnormalities and neurological deficiencies (trigeminal nerve paralysis or facial nerve paralysis). In some such cases, surgery is required. Treatment always needs to be tailored carefully according to the depth and progression of the ulcer, any concurrent ophthalmic disease, the patient's general health and demeanour, and owner compliance and financial circumstances. PATIENT GROUP: All age groups and breeds can suffer with ulcerative keratitis although some breeds are over-represented for some types of corneal ulceration. EVIDENCE BASE: The scientific literature on feline ulcerative keratitis is extensive. This article reviews the surgical indications for corneal ulceration in cats with reference to the current evidence base.
