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
purposeTo evaluate progression of keratoconus in patients where CXL treatment was interrupted due to insufficient swelling of the cornea.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted of all patients with keratoconus diagnosis who underwent CXL at the Department of Ophthalmology, Örebro University Hospital (USÖ) during the years 2010-2017. In total 377 eyes of 280 patients were screened for inclusion. In 17 eyes (15 patients), the treatment was interrupted due to insufficient swelling of the cornea. Patient journals were reviewed and keratometry examinations were analysed for long-term progression.
resultsEleven eyes (nine patients) were included in the study. Five eyes showed no signs of progression after the interrupted CXL treatment. In one eye progression continued, however, first after a period of a number of years, indicating a delayed course of clinical progression.
conclusionThis study indicates that debridement of the corneal epithelium and riboflavin administration without intense UVA radiation may slow or arrest the progression of keratoconus, likely due to photosensitisation from ambient light.
