Effect of rigid gas permeable contact lens on keratoconus progression: a review.
Review in International journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The prevalence of keratoconus is 1/2000 in the general population and is high in adolescents. Keratoconus is a progressive disease, which has a great impact on patients' quality of life and mental health. It can be managed by surgical and non-surgical means, rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens as its main non-surgical method is widely used in clinic. The efficacy of wearing RGP contact lens has been confirmed to some extent, but some studies have found that wearing RGP contact lens has adverse effects, which may promote disease progression. In this paper, the advantages and disadvantages of RGP contact lens in controlling keratoconus were reviewed to provide more suggestions and references for the clinical application of RGP contact lens.
