The Value of Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography in Different Types of Corneal Infections: An Update.
Review in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) is a modality that uses low-coherence interferometry to visualize and assess anterior segment ocular features, offering several advantages of being a sterile and noncontact modality that generates high-resolution cross-sectional images of the tissues. The qualitative and quantitative information provided by AS-OCT may be extremely useful for the clinician in the assessment of a wide spectrum of corneal infections, guiding in the management and follow-up of these patients. In clinical practice, infections are routinely evaluated with slit-lamp biomicroscopy, an examination and imaging modality that is limited by the physical characteristics of light. As a consequence, the depth of pathology and the eventually associated corneal edema cannot be accurately measured with the slit-lamp. Therefore, it represents a limit for the clinician, as in vivo information about corneal diseases and the response to treatment is limited. Resolution of corneal infection is characterized by an early reduction in corneal edema, followed by a later reduction in infiltration: both parameters can be routinely measured with standardized serial images by AS-OCT.
