Asymmetric Thickness Intracorneal Ring Segments for Keratoconus.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
purposeTo describe the anatomical and functional results of the implantation of asymmetric thickness intracorneal ring segments (AS-ICRS) in eyes with keratoconus and asymmetric/irregular astigmatism (type 2 - MATERIALS AND
methodsRetrospective observational study including 19 consecutive patients (21 eyes) with keratoconus who underwent manual implantation of the Keraring
resultsOverall mean age was 35.3±11.7 years and median follow-up was 7.1 months (range 6-12). At the end of follow-up, a significant improvement from baseline was achieved in both UDVA (0.24±0.22; p=0.017) and CDVA (0.21±0.17; p<0.001). Regarding topographic measurements, the greatest decrease was observed in K2 (2.76±1.9D; p<0.001) and astigmatism (1.97±1.5; p<0.001). Aberrometry analysis showed a reduction of 1.27±3.2µm in the total RMS (p=0.085), 0.24±0.9µm in HOA (p=0.227) and 0.78±0.5 (p<0.001) in the 90º component of comatic aberration. The procedure effects in the CDVA, topographic and aberrometric parameters were higher in type 2 cones without statistical significance (p>0.05 in all).
