Article in Eye and vision (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04160338 (A Specular Microscopic Study of Corneal Endothelium After Accelerated Corneal Collagen Cross Linking), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 papers.

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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundTo compare the outcomes of two different protocols of accelerated corneal crosslinking (CXL) on visual, corneal high order aberrations (HOA) and topographic parameters in patients with progressive keratoconus.

methodsIn this prospective comparative study, sixty-six eyes of 66 patients with progressive keratoconus were divided into two groups; 37 eyes in Group 1 received 18 mW/cm

resultsThe mean UCVA and BCVA were significantly improved at the postoperative 12 months compared with the preoperative values in both groups (P < 0.05 for all). A significant improvement in corneal HOAs was observed in both groups (P < 0.05 for all). The change in corneal coma value was significantly higher in Group 2 (P < 0.05). The change in keratometric values K1, K2, AvgK and maximum keratometry (AKf) were significantly higher in Group 2 (P < 0.05 for all). The regression model showed that the most important factor predicting the change in AKf was the type of CXL (β = - 0.482,
