1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Neurotrophic keratitis is a rare eye condition characterised by reduced or absent corneal sensation. This leads to impaired corneal healing through a loss of protective mechanisms such as blinking. The cornea becomes vulnerable to persistent epithelial defects, ulceration, infection and ultimately, vision loss or loss of the eye. Treatment strategies aim to protect the corneal surface and promote re-epithelialisation. Established treatments include specialised eye drops such as blood serum eye drops and topical nerve growth factor. In some cases, surgical interventions or procedures such as amniotic membrane transplantation or corneal neurotisation may be necessary. Emerging therapeutic drug options include insulin drops, BRM424, CSB-001 and varenicline. The aim of this Current Opinion is to introduce and review this field for the general reader, paying particular attention to emerging drug therapies for neurotrophic keratitis.
