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

Purpose: We present two cases of fungal keratitis following amniotic membrane transplantation, including Observations: A 76-year-old female with a history of anterior basement membrane dystrophy referred for reduced vision and left eye pain ten days following AMT at an outside facility. Despite topical management, the patient continued to worsen clinically, with a recalcitrant course of Fusarium keratitis requiring conjunctival flap, cryotherapy, and intracameral and intrastromal injection. The second case involved a 46-year-old male with a history of recurrent corneal erosions referred for blurry vision and pain in his left eye seven days following AMT. He was found to have Conclusions: Fungal keratitis following amniotic membrane placement has not been reported presenting within ten days after transplantation. This is the first report of
