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

As the collagen layer weakens with increasing age or certain diseases such as keratoconus and myopia, the mechanical property of the collagen layer decreases with corneal deformation. To circumvent these problems, the corneal collagen has been crosslinked with the photosensitizer riboflavin under UV light after de-epithelialization. However, this treatment with riboflavin and UV light can cause notable damage to the eye. Here, the biocompatible rose bengal (RB) dye was conjugated to hyaluronic acid (HA) to enhance the corneal permeability, which can be activated by safe green light with a wavelength of 530 nm. Two-photon microscopy revealed the deep tissue penetration of the HA-RB conjugate in comparison with RB. Collagen fibrillogenesis,
