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

Chemical injuries can severely damage the ocular surface. We present the case of a man in his 40s with severe periocular chemical injury with total lid loss and severe exposure keratopathy. He sustained burns to 45% of his body surface area and needed tracheostomy and multiple full-thickness skin grafts. Both eyes required surgery, Boston type 1 keratoprosthesis and penetrating keratoplasty for the right and left eye, respectively. There was melting in the right eye and a persistent epithelial defect in the left eye. Eventually, we suggested 18 mm diameter scleral contact lenses for both eyes to aid in ocular surface stabilisation. His best corrected visual acuity improved significantly with the scleral lenses to 20/100 and 20/320 in the right and left eyes, respectively. This case demonstrates that scleral lenses can treat the complications of exposure keratopathy and can improve vision. Therefore, they may be considered for rehabilitation of the ocular surface in eyes with severe chemical periocular injuries.
