Diagnostic Accuracy of Corneal and Epithelial Thickness Map Parameters to Detect Keratoconus and Suspect Keratoconus.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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
Aim: To establish the diagnostic accuracy of corneal and epithelial thickness measurements obtained by spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) in detecting keratoconus (KC) and suspect keratoconus (SKC). Methods: This retrospective study reviewed the data of 144 eyes separated into three groups by the Sirius automated corneal classification software: normal (N) ( Results: ROC curve analysis revealed excellent predictive ability for ET variables: minimum (Min) ET (0_2), minimum-maximum (Min-Max) ET (0_2), superonasal-inferotemporal (SN-IT) ET (2_5), Min-Max ET (2_5), and Min ET (2_5) to detect keratoconus (AUC > 0.9, all). Min-Max CT (0_2) was the only CT parameter with excellent ability to discriminate between KC and N eyes (AUC = 0.94; cutoff = ≤-32 Conclusion: These results demonstrate that OCT-derived CT and ET are able to differentiate between KC and N eyes, with a high level of certainty. However, Min-Max ET (2_5) was the parameter with the highest ability to detect suspect keratoconus.
