Evaluation of Corneal Biomechanical Changes After Collagen Crosslinking in Patients with Progressive Keratoconus by Ocular Response Analyzer.
Article in Turkish journal of ophthalmology, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectivesTo evaluate corneal biomechanics before and after collagen crosslinking (CXL) in patients with progressive keratoconus. MATERIALS AND
methodsIn this prospective study, CXL was performed under topical anesthesia after removal of the epithelium (epi-off technique) by applying ultraviolet A (UVA) light at a wavelength of 365 nm and power of 3 mW/cm2 or 5.4 joule/cm2. Isoosmolar 0.1% riboflavin solution was administered before and during UVA irradiation. In addition to ophthalmologic examination, ocular response analyzer measurements were performed pre- and postoperatively. Corneal hysteresis (CH), corneal resistance factor (CRF), corneal compensated intraocular pressure (IOPcc), Goldmann-correlated intraocular pressure (IOPg), and central corneal thickness (CCT) were recorded.
resultsThe study included 35 eyes of 30 patients with progressive keratoconus. The mean age was 28.2±6.5 years and postoperative follow-up time was 20.2±14.7 months (range: 6-74 months). The mean CH was 8.60±1.23 mmHg preoperatively, 8.96±2.05 mmHg in the early postoperative period (1-6 months), (p=0.28) and 8.96±1.28 mmHg in the late postoperative period (10-29 months) (p=0.48). Mean CRF was 7.13±1.50 mmHg preoperatively, 8.48±2.16 mmHg in the early postoperative period (p=0.009), and 7.71±1.29 mmHg in the late postoperative period (p=0.40). Mean IOPcc was 12.78±2.34 mmHg preoperatively, 15.38±4.21 mmHg in the early postoperative period (p=0.12) and 13.68±3.61 mmHg in the late postoperative period (p=0.48). Mean IOPg was 9.56±2.73 mmHg preoperatively, 13.01±4.45 mmHg in the early postoperative period (p=0.046), and 10.86±3.47 mmHg in the late postoperative period (p=0.44). Mean CCT was 484.43±41.26 µm preoperatively, 474.16±64.74 µm in the early postoperative period (p=0.70), and 470.38±33.64 µm in late postoperative period (p=0.71).
conclusionCXL is a treatment modality believed to affect corneal biomechanics in keratoconus, but the results of larger patient series with longer follow-up periods may enable a better evaluation.
