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

The pterygium is a frequent ultraviolet (UV) light-induced focal fibrovascular proliferation of the conjunctival tissue onto the cornea. Surgical excision should be performed in the case of reduced visual acuity, progressive astigmatism, impending invasion of the optical axis and ocular surface complaints. The main factors in preventing recurrence include optimal surgical treatment by an excision combined with a free conjunctival autograft, consistent postoperative treatment with preservative-free artificial tears and topical steroids as well as long-term UV protection.
