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

To identify the microstructural modification of the corneal layers during the course of the disease, optical technologies have been pushing the boundary of innovation to achieve cellular resolution of deep layers of the cornea. Gabor-domain optical coherence microscopy (GD-OCM), an optical coherence tomography-based technique that can achieve an isotropic of ∼2-μm resolution over a volume of 1  mm  ×  1  mm  ×  1.2  mm, was developed to investigate the microstructural modifications of corneal layers in four common corneal diseases. Since individual layer visualization without cutting through several layers is challenging due to corneal curvature, a flattening algorithm was developed to remove the global curvature of the endothelial layer and display the full view of the endothelium and Descemet's membrane in single en face images. As a result, GD-OCM revealed the qualitative changes in size and reflectivity of keratocytes in Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD), which varied by the degree of disease. More importantly, elongated shape and hyperactivation characteristics of keratocytes, associated with the early development of guttae, appeared to start in the posterior stroma very early in the disease process and move toward the anterior stroma during disease progression. This work opens a venue into the pathogenesis of FECD.
