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

purposeTo describe the presence of iris mammillations (IM) in keratoconus.

designRetrospective case series and literature review. OBSERVATIONS: This is a retrospective case series of eight patients presenting with keratoconus and IM, who were examined between January 2016 and December 2017 in the ophthalmology outpatient clinic. They had a median age of 14 (11-30), and all had bilateral keratoconus and diffusely distributed IM. The IM had similar presentations and similar iris colors. None had relevant medical or family diseases associated with IM. Three eyes previously had penetrating keratoplasty. Four (31%) out of 13 eyes had mean keratometry (Km) > 55D, and 4 (31%) had the thinnest pachymetry between 300 and 400μm. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: To the best of our knowledge
