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

Brittle cornea syndrome (BCS) is a genetic connective tissue disorder with discernible ocular features such as blue scleral and thin cornea that predominantly presents in younger children. We herein describe cases of three siblings with BCS, two of whom presented to us with open globe injuries following trivial trauma. Clinical examination of the other eye in both showed diffusely thin corneas and blue sclera. A systemic evaluation revealed sensorineural hearing loss and hyperextensible joints. The third sibling was screened and found to have features concurrent with BCS. This report highlights the challenges faced in the management of ocular injuries and consecutive complications in these patients.
