Measurement of central corneal thickness and pre-corneal tear film thickness of rabbits using the Scheimpflug system.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
aimTo measure central corneal thickness (CCT) and pre-corneal tear film thickness using the Galilei dual-Scheimpflug analyzer (GSA) in New Zealand white rabbits.
methodsTen normal New Zealand white rabbits (20 eyes) were included in this study. With the assistance of 0.1% fluorescein, the pre-corneal tear film can be well visualized. Both eyes of each rabbit were scanned once with the GSA pre- and post-instillation of 1µL 0.1% fluorescein. The difference between the two measurements of CCT (4-mm diameter) was recorded as the pachymetric values of the central tear film.
resultsThe CCT of pre- and post-instillation was 388.8±9.5µm and 407.0±10.5µm, respectively. After a paired t-test analysis, the central pre-corneal tear film thickness of 4mm diameter was 18.2±5.31µm with a 95% confidence interval of (15.7, 20.6)µm (P<0.001).
conclusionGSA can be used to measure CCT and analyze central tear film thickness of rabbits with the help of fluorescein.
