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

purposeThe aim of this study was to compare corneal and lens densitometric measurements and corneal topographic parameters of pediatric keratoconus patients and healthy individuals.

methodsThe data of the Pentacam

resultsThe corneal density values were significantly higher in Group KC (12.72 ± 1.68, 1.00 ± 0.34, 16.36 ± 2.32, respectively) compared to Group HC (9.81 ± 1.02, 0.61 ± 0.28, 12.42 ± 1.44, respectively) (p < 0.001). LD-mean and LD-sd measurements were lower in Group KC (7.55 ± 0.48, 0.61 ± 0.49, respectively) compared to Group HC (7.75 ± 0.39, 0.81 ± 0.49, respectively) (p = 0.004, p = 0.014, respectively).

conclusionIt was found that corneal density increased and lens density decreased in pediatric keratoconus patients. These results showed that there may be factors that prevent or delay lens changes in isolated pediatric keratoconus patients.
