Umbilical amnion and amniotic membrane transplantation for infectious scleritis and scleral melt: A case series.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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 report the outcomes of two cases of infectious scleritis with severe scleral thinning managed using combined mechanical debridement, cryopreserved umbilical amnion (UA) and amniotic membrane (AM) grafts, and antimicrobial therapy. OBSERVATIONS: Two patients presented with severe infectious scleritis with progressive scleral melts secondary to CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This case series highlights the utilization of UA grafting along with AM transplantation and topical and systemic antibiotics to preserve the globe in cases of severe infectious scleritis.
