[Early diagnosis of keratoconus].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 is morphologically associated with increasing deformation, thinning and scarring of the cornea. This functionally leads to refractive changes and visual deterioration. In the early stages there are often no clear clinical signs in the slit-lamp examination; however, confirming the diagnosis as early as possible is important in order to provide patients with an appropriate treatment. For the early diagnosis of keratoconus, various diagnostic devices have been introduced in recent years and decades. These include keratometry with reflection-based or elevation-based systems and optical coherence tomography. High-frequency ultrasound microscopy and corneal biomechanics can also be used to establish the diagnosis of keratoconus by the measurement of other parameters. The necessity and the available possibilities for early diagnosis of keratoconus are presented in more detail in this article.
