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: This is a case report of a 31-year-old male patient presenting progressive and markedly asymmetric keratoconus treated with sequential intracorneal ring segment (ICRS) implantation followed by accelerated corneal cross-linking (CXL). Observations: The follow-up after the last procedure revealed a thin, opacified cornea with an unexpected massive flattening of up to 20.3 D. The central flattening attributed to the individual effect of CXL (post-ICRS-implant Conclusions and Importance: This original case reports how CXL followed by ICRS implant may result in an early and extreme corneal remodeling. Moreover, such an unusual combination of extreme corneal flattening, thinning, and opacification may imitate a clinical manifestation of central toxic keratopathy and suggests that eyes with ICRS implantation must be followed closely if CXL is performed sequentially after.
