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

Purpose: We report a case of lipid keratopathy in a radial keratotomy incision that was successfully managed with radiofrequency diathermy of the neovascular pedicle responsible for the lipid deposition. Observations: No perioperative or postoperative complications were noted. Following the procedure, the lesion showed significant decrease in lipid deposits and opacification along with disappearance of the neovascular pedicle. Conclusions and importance: Radiofrequency diathermy of neovascular pedicle may represent an effective and safe alternative treatment option for treating lipid keratopathy. This is a first ever report of lipid keratopathy inside a radial keratotomy incision that was successfully managed by radiofrequency diathermy.
