Temporal keratoconus in a pediatric patient.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To report a pediatric patient with bilateral temporal keratoconus. Observations: A 14-year-old male presented with a two-year history of progressively worsening visual acuity in both eyes and suspicion for undiagnosed amblyopia in the right eye. Retinoscopy revealed a scissoring reflex in both eyes and corneal topography demonstrated high keratometry values (Kmax 57.9 D and 46.1 D in the right and left eyes, respectively), with relative temporal steepening approximately coinciding with the thinnest pachymetry in both eyes. Corneal cross-linking was recommended. Conclusions and importance: Keratoconus can present as a temporal variant with relative temporal steepening and thinning. It is important to maintain a high index of suspicion for keratoconus in pediatric patients with sub-normal visual acuities. Prompt assessment and diagnosis may prevent progression of keratoconus and development of amblyopia.
