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

Diseases that affect the cornea can lead to severe vision loss and have tremendous social impact. These diseases are associated to deviations from normal structural order and orientation of collagen fibril bundles. Unfortunately, resolving non-invasively the corneal collagen structure is not possible to date. In this work, polarization sensitive second harmonic generation (pSHG) microscopy is used to obtain information with molecular specificity on microstructure of human corneas. This information is used to develop a set of label-free imaging biomarkers that were generated by means of a novel methodology based on mathematical tensorial calculus. The method is proven to be highly sensitive and robust. The use of these biomarkers permits accurate characterization of the anisotropic, depth-dependent, structural organization of corneal collagen fibril bundles without any a priori information. The method can be valuable to improve understanding of microstructural pathophysiological changes of the human cornea close to in vivo conditions.
