Dystrophia Adiposa Corneae: An Out-of-the-Box Diagnosis.
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
Dystrophia adiposa corneae is a degenerative corneal disorder characterised by fatty deposition, leading to corneal opacity and reduced visual acuity. We report a case of an Indian male in his early 40s with bilateral peripheral deep lipid deposition in the corneal stroma, beginning in an arcuate fashion and progressing to an annular-shaped structure. Furthermore, cholesterol crystals, as well as crystalline structures, were seen without any neovascularisation. We confirmed these findings on anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). We also noticed an increase in central corneal thickness (CCT), and on systemic workup, the patient was diagnosed with mild dyslipidaemia. This case highlights the need for an out-of-the-box diagnosis of a rare keratopathy, which can be vision-threatening and needs to be differentiated from its mimickers.
