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
Purpose: To investigate the difference in anterior segment parameters between suspicious primary angle closure (PACS) patients and normal patients as assessed by ultrasound biomicroscopy (UBM). Methods: From June 2019 to November 2020, 39 patients (50 eyes) with PACS in the Ophthalmology Department of Qingdao University Affiliated Hospital who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were selected as the PACS group. 32 patients (50 eyes) who underwent phacoemulsification and intraocular lens implantation were selected as the normal group. In addition to routine preoperative examinations such as visual acuity, noncontact intraocular pressure, axis length (AL), and ocular B-ultrasound examination, UBM examinations were also performed, including measuring the central anterior chamber depth (ACD), the maximum transverse diameter of the ciliary process at both ends (STS), the vertical distance between the anterior apex of the lens and the maximum transverse diameter at both ends of the ciliary processes (h), and angle opening distance (AOD500), iris-zonule distance (IZD), trabecular-ciliary process distance (TCPD), trabecular-iris angle (TIA), iris thickness (IT), trabecular-ciliary process angle (TCPA), and anterior placement of the ciliary body (APCB) at four quadrants (superior, nasal, inferior, and temporal quadrants). Results: Compared with the normal group, the PACS group showed statistically differences in AL, ACD, h, ACD/AL, h/STS, IZD, AOD500, TCPD, TIA, TCPA, and APCB ( Conclusion: UBM quantitatively enables to identify the anterior segment morphology, especially the zonules in patients of suspicious primary angle closure combined with the relaxation of zonule. Accurate measurement of UBM can be used to predict whether patients with PACS are combined with zonular relaxation, so as to provide a clinical imaging evidence for the diagnosis.
