Bilateral idiopathic corneal opacity: A report of Ascher ring and a review of the literature.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeTo present a case of a rare entity of Ascher ring, a bilateral corneal stromal opacification. OBSERVATION: A 70-year-old male with no ocular history who presented for cataract evaluation was found to have idiopathic bilateral circular stromal corneal rings.
conclusionsAfter completion of extensive history, examination, imaging analyses, and laboratory studies for workup of corneal opacities, we arrived at a diagnosis of Ascher corneal ring, an extremely rare entity. IMPORTANCE: A rare entity should be considered after excluding other etiologies.
