Corneal Haze and Densitometry in Keratoconus after Collagen Cross-Linking by Three Different Protocols.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
purposeTo evaluate postoperative corneal haze and corneal densitometry following three different corneal cross-linking (CXL) protocols; standard, accelerated, and trans-epithelial (TE).
methodsThe study recruited 104 eyes (53 patients) with progressive keratoconus divided into three groups: Group I were subjected to standard CXL, Group II to TE-CXL, and Group III to accelerated CXL (A-CXL) (10 mW/cm
resultsThere was a significant difference in corneal densitometry between the three groups at 3 and 6 months post-CXL (
conclusionThe TE-CXL group showed a better and earlier recovery from the haze, while the A-CXL group showed a delay in recovering and persistent increased corneal densitometry, mainly in the anterior 120 μ.
