Combination of phototherapeutic keratectomy and wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy for the treatment of Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2017. 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
Phototherapeutic keratectomy (PTK) has been used to treat anterior corneal dystrophy but may cause hyperopic shift or corneal high-order aberration. We describe the successful treatment of a case of a 43-year-old female with Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy, using PTK followed by wavefront-guided photorefractive keratectomy (PRK). The patient had high corneal aberration and hyperopic shift after PTK in both eyes. The corneal surface regularity index and surface asymmetric index increased after PTK and decreased after wavefront-guided PRK. Vision improved from preoperative 20/400 and 20/60 to postoperative 20/20 and 20/25 in the right eye and the left eye, respectively. Additional wavefront-guided PRK may enhance the effects of PTK by reducing irregular corneal surfaces and by correcting PTK-induced hyperopic shift.
