Drug-Dependent Inhibitory Effects on Corneal Epithelium Structure, Cell Viability, and Corneal Wound Healing by Local Anesthetics.
Article in International journal of molecular sciences, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
Local anesthetics are commonly used in ophthalmic surgery. However, their use can affect the healing process. This study aimed to investigate the potential impact of anesthetic substances at clinically relevant concentrations and incubation times (3 min), specifically oxybuprocaine (OBPC, 0.4%), lidocaine (LIDO, 2%), and bupivacaine (BUPI, 0.5%), either alone or supplemented with hylase (HYLA, 30 I.E.), on corneal epithelium structure, cell viability, and wound healing. To assess the potential cytotoxicity of these anesthetic substances, viability and colony-forming efficiency (CFE) assays were conducted using the human telomerase-immortalized corneal epithelial (hTCEpi) cell line. Additionally, the toxicity of these substances was evaluated using a 3D human tissue-specific corneal epithelial construct as well as a porcine corneal culture model. The results indicate that OBPC (Novesine
