Successful Collagen Crosslinking in a Patient With Keratoconus and Systemic Scleroderma.
Article in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Scleroderma is an autoimmune disease that affects connective tissue. Keratoconus (KC) is a rare ocular condition that may appear alongside scleroderma. Contact lenses are an essential visual aid for KC patients, especially in advanced cases. However, scleroderma patients may face difficulties using them due to finger-related disabilities. Corneal collagen cross-linking (CXL) is a crucial treatment used to prevent corneal thinning and visual deterioration in progressive KC. However, the potential trigger of corneal melt and delayed healing following CXL in KC patients with scleroderma is a matter of concern. We present a case of a patient with KC and scleroderma who underwent CXL without any complications.
