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.
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
Objective: To report a case of bilateral Mooren's ulcer with impending corneal perforation in the right eye and perforated peripheral corneal ulcer in the left eye which successfully underwent Tenon's patch graft (TPG) with multilayered amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) as globe salvaging procedure during COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: Conjunctival resection was done on both the eyes followed by autologous Tenon's grafting with overlay amniotic membrane grafting in the left eye with perforation and multilayered AMG with AMG overlay in the right eye with impending perforation. Post-operatively topical antibiotics and steroids were prescribed. Results: At one month follow-up, the Tenon's graft and multilayered AMG were well-integrated with the surrounding healthy cornea with a good anatomical and visual outcome. Conclusion: Autologous Tenon's patch graft is a simple and cost-effective alternative to preserve globe integrity and prevent complications in emergency cases when immediate access to cornea transplantation is practically challenging.
