Petal-shaped corneal pattern in a patient with posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy.

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 the petal-shaped corneal pattern in a patient with posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy. Observation: A 19-year-old male affected by Graves' disease presented corneal grey sheet-like opacities and high hyperopia. Corneal topography showed reduced k-values compatible with cornea plana and reduced corneal pachymetry. The anterior segment optical coherence tomography showed a hyperreflective band at the posterior stroma-Descemet-Endothelium layers in both eyes. Slit lamp examination with cobalt blue filter showed a corneal pattern resembling a petal in right eye; the pattern was similar but incomplete in left eye. Conclusion & importance: After an exhaustive literature review conducted from October 1st to 30th, 2023, utilizing online databases like PubMed and Google Scholar, and employing keywords such as "Corneal Dystrophy," "Slit Lamp," "Cornea," and "Posterior Amorphous Corneal Dystrophy," we found no previous reports detailing the whole corneal pattern using a blue cobalt filter on the slit lamp in cases of posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy. Cobalt blue filter was an effective method for capturing the full photographic corneal pattern of the patient posterior amorphous corneal dystrophy.
