Refractive surgery with simultaneous collagen cross-linking for borderline corneas - A review of different techniques, their protocols and clinical outcomes.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Simultaneous corneal cross-linking (CXL) has been proposed as an adjunct therapy to corneal refractive procedures to prevent future ectasia, especially when performed in borderline corneas. This review analyses the currently available literature (minimum follow-up 6 months) on corneal refractive surgery and simultaneous CXL (PRK Xtra, LASIK Xtra, and SMILE Xtra) to evaluate the overall results including the safety, efficacy, and potential complications associated with these procedures. A comprehensive literature search of various electronic databases (PubMed, PubMed Central, Cochrane database, and MEDLINE) was performed up to 20
