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

A 28-year-old male presented with three full-thickness stromal wooden foreign bodies vertically oriented in the left cornea. An innovative intracameral approach was used. Paracentesis was done and healon was injected into the anterior chamber. Iris repositor was introduced into the anterior chamber and the area of foreign bodies was pushed up to compress the stroma. The wooden foreign body projected above the corneal surface and were picked up one by one using McPherson forceps. One of the foreign bodies has penetrated through the Descemet's membrane resulting a corneal perforation. A corneal perforation was confirmed by observing egress of the irrigating solution, injected into the anterior chamber through the paracentesis opening. The corneal perforation was sealed with corneal glue. He achieved 6/9 BCVA (OS) at 8 weeks and maintained it during18 months follow-up.
