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

Purpose: Corneal neovascularization (CNV) is the invasion of new blood vessels into the avascular cornea, leading to reduced corneal transparency and visual acuity, impaired vision, and even blindness. Current treatment options for CNV are limited. We developed a novel treatment method, termed photo-mediated ultrasound therapy (PUT), that combines laser and ultrasound, and we tested its feasibility for treating CNV in a rabbit model. Methods: A suture-induced CNV model was established in New Zealand White rabbits, which were randomly divided into two groups: PUT and control. For the PUT group, the applied light fluence at the corneal surface was estimated to be 27 mJ/cm Results: In the PUT group, only 1.8% ± 0.8% of the CNV remained 30 days after treatment. In contrast, 71.4% ± 7.2% of the CNV remained in the control group after 30 days. Safety evaluations showed that PUT did not cause any damage to the surrounding tissue. Conclusions: These results demonstrate that PUT is capable of removing CNV safely and effectively in this rabbit model. Translational Relevance: PUT can remove CNV safely and effectively.
