Comparison of corneal biological parameters between transepithelial and epithelium-off corneal cross-linking in keratoconus.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo evaluate the differences in corneal biological parameters between transepithelial and epithelium-off corneal cross-linking in keratoconus.
methodsIn our prospective clinical trial, 40 patients (60 eyes) with progressive keratoconus were randomized to undergo corneal cross-linking with transepithelial (TE group,
resultsThe keratometer values were not significantly different between the TE and EO corneal cross-linked groups in different periods (each
conclusionEpithelium-off corneal cross-linking may strengthen corneal biomechanics better than TE procedure can. However, the TE procedure with a lower ultraviolet-A irradiation intensity would be safer for corneal endothelial function.
