Acupoint Massage plus Recombinant Bovine Basic Fibroblast Growth Factor Ophthalmic Gel and Limbal Stem Cell Transplantation on Visual Quality, Corneal Refraction, and Aesthetic Outcome in Patients with Pterygium.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. Cited by 2 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
Objective: To investigate the clinical study of acupoint massage combined with recombinant bovine basic fibroblast growth factor (rbFGF) ophthalmic gel combined with limbal stem cell transplantation on visual quality, corneal refraction, and aesthetic outcome in patients with pterygium. Methods: Sixty patients with pterygium treated in People's Hospital of Lujiang County from March 2018 to May 2021 were randomized into the control group and the research group by the random number table method, with 30 cases in each group. The control group received rbFGF plus limbal stem cell transplantation. The research group was treated with acupoint massage additionally. Results: The total clinical effective rate in the study group was higher than that in the control group ( Conclusion: Acupoint massage combined with rbFGF ophthalmic gel combined with limbal stem cell transplantation is effective in clinical treatment of pterygium.
