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 describe a unique case of unilateral open angle glaucoma secondary to heterotopic bone formation in the anterior chamber angle. Observations: A 57 year-old male with an unremarkable history presented with right eye pain. Anterior segment examination demonstrated a solid, white deposit overlying the trabecular meshwork and peripheral iris associated with an intraocular pressure of 44 mmHg. The left eye examination was unremarkable. Biopsy of the material surprisingly showed heterotopic bone. Removal of the material and medical treatment were unable to adequately control the intraocular pressure and a trabeculectomy was successfully performed. Conclusions and Importance: This case demonstrates a unique cause of secondary open angle glaucoma: heterotopic bone formation in the anterior chamber angle.
