Corneal melt secondary to eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a rare antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis that can affect any organ system. It is most often characterised by chronic airway inflammation along with prominent peripheral blood eosinophilia, although the disease can affect the cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, renal or central nervous systems. Ocular manifestations are uncommon and when they do occur, are varied in their clinical presentations. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of corneal melt secondary to EGPA to have been reported.
