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 investigate the effect of topical Polyvinylpyrrolidone-iodine (PVP-I) 0.6% on the clinical course of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis compared with PVP-I 1% and artificial tears. Methods: We prospectively enrolled all patients over 18 years of age with a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-confirmed diagnosis of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis who presented to the hospital between November 2022 and June 2023. Patients were randomized into 3 groups: artificial tears (control), PVP-I 1%, and PVP-I 0.6% eye drops, 4 times daily for 5 days. Clinical signs at presentation and at 6 follow-up visits during the 1 Results: Ninety-four patients completed the study, of which 30, 31, and 33 were in the control, PVP-I 1%, and PVP-I 0.6% groups, respectively. The mean age of the patients was 37.2 years (interquartile range: 25-46). The PCR result was positive in 75.6% of patients with the clinical suspicion. PVP-I, regardless of the concentration, was superior to the artificial tears in terms of time to resolution of lid swelling, discharge, and incidence of subsequent subepithelial infiltrates ( Conclusions: The PVP-I 0.6% topical drops are safe and well tolerated in patients with acute adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis. It can be substituted for the 1% solution as it has comparable effects in improving the clinical course and reducing subsequent complications.
