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

objectivesTo examine the effectiveness and safety of accelerated corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) for keratoconus over a 24-month period and to explore potential prognostic factors for post-treatment visual outcome and progression.

methodsA retrospective, non-comparative, interventional case series. All patients who underwent accelerated epithelium-off CXL, using 9 mW/cm

resultsFifty-two eyes of 48 patients were included. At 24-month post-CXL, there was a significant improvement in corrected-distance visual acuity (CDVA; -0.05 LogMAR; p = 0.026), Kmax (-1.68 D; p < 0.001), K1 (-0.64 D; p = 0.002) and Kmean (-0.50 D; p = 0.009). The proportion of eyes with CDVA ≥ 0.3 LogMAR significantly improved from 43 (82.7%) eyes preoperatively to 50 (96.2%) eyes at 24 months (p = 0.026). Corneal haze (12, 23.1%) was the only postoperative complication and no adverse event was noted. Final CDVA was associated with lower CDVA (p = 0.002) and greater Kmax (p = 0.018) at baseline. Post-CXL progression of keratoconus was associated with greater preoperative Kmax (p = 0.12) and Kmean (p = 0.11), though statistical significances were not achieved.
