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

A woman in her late twenties presented with blurring of vision in the right eye for 6 years. Retinoscopy showed a scissoring reflex in the right eye with best spectacle-corrected visual acuity of 20/40 in the right eye and 20/20 in the left eye. Slit-lamp examination of the right eye showed superior crescentic thinning with conjunctivalisation and lipid deposition while the left eye was normal. Corneal topography of the right eye showed inverse crab-claw pattern suggestive of Terrien's marginal degeneration (TMD) and the left eye showed inferior steepening with posterior elevation and thinning suggestive of keratoconus-like topography. This case shows that evaluation of the other apparently normal eye with 20/20 vision might show changes on topography in cases of unilateral TMD and needs follow-up to assess any further progression.
