[Corneal dystrophies in optical coherence tomography].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2019. 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
backgroundCorneal optical coherence tomography (anterior segment OCT, AS-OCT) is described in the current IC3D classification of corneal dystrophies to be a method for improvement of clinical diagnostics and treatment.
objectiveIn this case series AS-OCT images of corneal dystrophies were analyzed with respect to morphological changes. MATERIAL AND
methodsThis was a retrospective imaging and morphological case series with 38 eyes. For image acquisition the corneal module of the high-resolution spectral-domain OCT Zeiss Cirrus HD-5000 platform (Oberkochen, Germany) was employed. The following corneal dystrophies were analyzed: epithelial basement membrane dystrophy, Meesmann corneal dystrophy, Reis-Bücklers corneal dystrophy, granular corneal dystrophy type 1, granular corneal dystrophy type 2 and macular corneal dystrophy.
resultsThe AS-OCT images showed the typical changes of the dystrophies through hyperreflectivity and hyporeflectivity in the individual corneal layers. The findings in the AS-OCT images correlated well with the histological descriptions in the literature and provided additional information to the slit lamp examination, especially with respect to the exact location of the alterations.
conclusionCorneal AS-OCT imaging seems to be a helpful tool for determination of morphological changes in patients with corneal dystrophies and can facilitate both the diagnostics and surgical treatment decisions.
