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

Fungal keratitis (FK) is a devastating ocular disease that can cause corneal opacity and blindness if not treated effectively. Tolnaftate (TOL) is a selective fungicidal drug against Aspergillus spp. which are among the most common causes of mycotic keratitis. TOL is lipophilic drug with low water solubility and permeation which act as obstacles for its clinical ocular efficacy. Hence, this study aimed to statistically optimize a novel polymeric pseudorotaxanes (PSRs) containing TOL for enhancing its ocular permeability and antifungal effect. For achieving this goal, a full 3
