A modified Tenons sling annular graft for advanced peripheral ulcerative keratitis with an hourglass cornea.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Systemic tuberculosis mostly affects the lungs and ocular involvement is rare. The ocular manifestations are varied, and rarely peripheral ulcerative keratitis (PUK) occurs either due to direct invasion of the microorganism or due to immune reaction. We present a case of advanced PUK in a 28-year-old male patient diagnosed with pulmonary TB in the right eye with hourglass cornea. The ulcer was progressing circumferentially with necrosis of corneal stroma and undermined margins similar to Moorens ulcer, and was not responding to anti-tuberculosis treatment and topical steroids. We describe a modified novel surgical technique using tenons sling annular patch graft to manage the progressive advanced PUK with hourglass cornea to optimize visual and structural outcome in our patient.
