Cutting Edge: Topical Recombinant Nerve Growth Factor for the Treatment of Neurotrophic Keratopathy-Biologicals as a Novel Therapy for Neurotrophic Keratopathy.
Article in Cornea, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
abstractOphthalmologists find management of neurotrophic keratopathy (NK) challenging because conventional therapy lacks efficacy and may result in permanent loss of vision. Recombinant nerve growth factor (cenegermin) targets the underlying pathogenesis of NK by regenerating corneal nerves and healing the corneal epithelium through promotion of proliferation, maturing corneal epithelial cells. It has been approved as Food Drug Association-approved treatment of NK. In this article, the background, clinical trials, and impact of recombinant nerve growth factor as the first neurotrophic factor for the restoration of corneal integrity, homeostasis, and corneal nerve regeneration are discussed.
