1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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 describe a case of central corneal ulceration in a newborn secondary to congenital entropion. OBSERVATIONS: Corneal ulcers during infancy are rare and may occur secondary to congenital structural anomalies, including congenital entropion. Correct anatomic eyelid position in newborns is challenging to determine with closed eyelids, and eyelid squeezing during crying and discomfort adds to this challenge. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: This report reinforces the importance of careful examination of the adnexa in infants with corneal ulcers while they are most comfortable, usually after topical anesthesia and prior to placement of eyelid speculum. Ophthalmologists caring for infants must be able to detect this condition because prompt entropion repair is necessary for corneal ulcer resolution and prevention of permanent vision loss.
