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

Contact lens complications are all pathological alterations of the eyes caused by wearing contact lenses. Clinical manifestations particularly affect the cornea and conjunctiva. A differentiation is made between undesired manifestations and disease conditions that at least temporarily make the further wearing of contact lenses impossible. The decisive factor is that for every irritation of the anterior segment of the eye the possibility of contact lens complications is considered and investigated. This article describes the most important contact lens types, the physiology and pathology of corneal metabolism, clinical manifestations and the corresponding treatment.
