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

(1) Background: This study aimed to evaluate the clinical outcome of Sandwich (Amnion/Conjunctival-Limbal Autograft/Amnion) transplantation for recurrent pterygium with restrictive strabismus. (2) Methods: This retrospective study included 11 eyes in 11 patients diagnosed with recurrent pterygium with restrictive strabismus who received sandwich transplantation. The outcomes were measured by pterygium recurrence, best-corrected visual acuity, esotropia (prism diopters), and treatment complications. (3) Results: Eleven patients (six males, five females) had a mean age of 60.5 (range 36-80) years. The previously received pterygium excision surgery number was 1.8 ± 1.02 (range 1-4). The mean follow-up period was 19.9 ± 8.41 (range 12-36) months. All patients had a restriction of abduction in the previously operated eye, causing esotropia in the primary position. Pre-operative esotropia was 17.2 (range 10-30) prims diopter (PD). Five eyes (45.5%) had symblepharon before surgery. All patients were orthotropic until the last follow-up. Symblepharon was released in all eyes. Free ocular motility was present in all eyes. No donor site scar formation, scleral melt, or corneal ulcer was noted. (4) Conclusions: Sandwich transplantation for recurrent pterygium with restrictive strabismus is safe and effective.
