Innovative Cold Atmospheric Plasma (iCAP) Decreases Mucopurulent Corneal Ulcer Formation and Edema and Reduces Bacterial Load in
Article in Clinical plasma medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 evaluate the effect of application of 3% air in helium cold atmospheric plasma jet, using an inexpensive device termed iCAP, in corneal scratch wound closure
methodsThermal imaging to measure temperature of surfaces to which iCAP was applied and UV energy density delivered by iCAP were measured. Scratch wounds inflicted on
resultsiCAP was shown to operate in the non-thermal regime and also shown to deliver much lower UV energy density than that necessary to cause harmful effects on ocular tissue. iCAP treatment significantly improved the rate of scratch wound gap closure
conclusionOur results strongly suggest that iCAP treatment was effective in improving corneal epithelial defect closure
