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
aimTo investigate the changes in levels of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) enzyme in corneal edema after cataract surgery with trans-corneal oxygenation therapy.
methodsThis pre-post design study design conducted on 15 patients with corneal edema after cataract surgery and receiving trans-corneal oxygenation therapy. Tear sample (using Schirmer paper, from the inferior fornix of the conjunctiva) was carried out prior to trans-corneal oxygenation therapy, on the day 2 (D2) and day 5 (D5) postoperatively before and after trans-corneal oxygenation therapy. Visual acuity [VA (LogMAR)], corneal endothelial density, central corneal thickness (CCT), and coefficient of variation corneal endothelial (CoV) were recorded. The value of LDH was measured using ELISA. The difference in mean LDH value before and after trans-corneal oxygenation therapy, between two groups were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed rank test.
resultsThere was a decrease in LDH tear concentration at D2 (pre
conclusionTrans-corneal oxygenation therapy is associated with significant decrease of tears LDH levels in post cataract surgery with corneal edema. It is accompanied by clinical improvement such as significant reduction of CCT.
