Evaluating the application of argon laser on pterygium surgery: Report of 30 patients.
Article in Oman journal of ophthalmology. 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
backgroundThe recurrence rate plays a key role in using various treatments of pterygium. This study assessed the effectiveness of argon laser therapy before the excision of pterygium on the recurrence rate. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe eyes (
resultsIn the group with adjuvant argon laser therapy, the mean size of pterygium was 3.7 ± 0.47 mm before surgery and 2.3 ± 0.98 after 12 months (
conclusionArgon laser therapy on pterygium before surgery cannot decrease its recurrence rate, but its application gives a good vision and clarifies the surgery's target area.
