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

Eye injury due to alkali burn is a severe ocular trauma that can profoundly affect corneal structure and function, including its biomechanical properties. Here, we assess the changes in the mechanical behavior of mouse corneas in response to alkali-induced injury by conducting longitudinal measurements using optical coherence elastography (OCE). A non-contact air-coupled ultrasound transducer was used to induce elastic waves in control and alkali-injured mouse corneas in vivo, which were imaged with phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography. Corneal mechanical properties were estimated using a modified Rayleigh-Lamb wave model, and results show that Young's modulus of alkali-burned corneas were significantly greater than that of their healthy counterparts on days 7 (p = 0.029) and 14 (p = 0.026) after injury. These findings, together with the changes in the shear viscosity coefficient postburn, indicate that the mechanical properties of the alkali-burned cornea are significantly modulated during the wound healing process.
