[Stage-appropriate treatment of keratoconus].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 21 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
Keratoconus (KC) is a progressive cone-shaped corneal protrusion that causes paracentral thinning at the apex of the cone and typically occurs asymmetrically on both sides. After a careful anamnesis and classification of the degree of severity a targeted treatment appropriate to the stage of the disease is available. If the visual acuity is no longer sufficient, rigid gas-permeable contact lenses (CL) are fitted by a specialist. Riboflavin UVA cross-linking (CXL) is recommended in cases of progression and visual acuity that is still useful for the patient. Intracorneal ring segments (ICRS) are indicated for CL intolerance in cases of reduced visual acuity and a clear central cornea. If the stage is more advanced, deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) or penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) is recommended. A PKP is contraindicated in acute KC but deep stromal sutures for readaptation of the Descemet tear with gas filling of the anterior chamber can considerably shorten the course. Almost no other eye disease is nowadays as easily accessible for an early instrument-based diagnosis and stage-appropriate treatment as KC.
