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

Background: Epikeratophakia is a refractive surgical procedure used to correct aphakic eyes, hyperopia, and keratoconus and is often performed in children. In this report, we present the long-term effects of epikeratophakia on the progression of keratoconus in a patient who underwent surgery. Conclusions: Herein, we reported the longest follow-up to date of a case of keratoconus, in which one eye was treated with epikeratophakia. The progression of keratoconus was halted in the treated eye but continued in the nonoperated contralateral eye.
