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
Background: The study aimed to review the etiology of corneal blindness and investigate the relative risk of corneal graft rejection (CGR) in the southern Liaoning region. Methods: The clinical records of 359 patients (394 eyes) who underwent corneal transplantation at the Department of Keratoconus of the Third People's Hospital of Dalian from January 2019 to December 2023 were retrospectively analyzed. The data included patients' age, gender, occupation, diagnosis, surgical procedure, postoperative immune rejection, and neovascularization. The data were collected and descriptively analyzed to characterize the etiology of corneal blindness and to analyze the risk factors for postoperative immune rejection after corneal transplantation using logistic regression. Results: The mean age of the patients who underwent corneal transplantation was 55.90 ± 0.80 years, and there were more male patients than female patients with corneal blindness. Infectious keratitis (41.1%) was reported as the leading cause of corneal blindness, and penetrating corneal transplantation was the main surgical procedure for the recovery of sight. Preoperative corneal vascularization and penetrating corneal graft rejection were identified as risk factors for immune rejection of corneal grafts. The preoperative corneal vascularization was performed ( Conclusion: Infectious keratitis was identified as the major cause of corneal blindness in the southern Liaoning region over the past 5 years. Penetrating keratoplasty and preoperative corneal vascularization were the risk factors for corneal graft rejection. In addition, virus-derived keratitis was considered to be the main risk factor for corneal neovascularization, and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty was not found to have an effect on corneal graft rejection in this study.
