Ocular thelaziosis: A case report of an emerging zoonosis.
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 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
purposeTo describe an unusual case of ocular thelaziosis due to OBSERVATIONS: We report an 81-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with a week long history of bilateral redness and tearing that had not improved despite antibiotics and corticosteroid topical treatment. Slit-lamp biomicroscopy showed signs of bilateral conjunctivitis and mucopurulent discharge in fornices. Under the upper tarsal conjunctiva of the left eye, two filiform worms were identified, which were removed and sent on wet mount slides for microscopic examination and genetic identification. The rest of the ophthalmoscopic examination was rigorously normal. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay turned positive for CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Ocular thelaziosis is an emerging zoonosis in Spain, but also in the rest of the world. Ophthalmologists should include ocular thelaziosis in humans as a possible cause of conjunctivitis, tearing, and corneal ulcer, thus avoiding underdiagnosis and inappropriate treatments. The epidemiology of the disease makes anamnesis essential. A confocal biomicroscopy is a useful device for identifying this eyeworm but the definitive diagnosis will be made taking into account the morphological identification under microscope, together with the molecular identification by PCR techniques.
