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

aimTo investigate the clinical signs of blepharokeratoconjunctivitis (BKC) and evaluate the efficacy of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) for the disease.

methodsSixteen patients (16 eyes) with BKC complicated by corneal perforation hospitalised at Shandong Eye Hospital were retrospectively analyzed. All patients received PKP. Participants were assessed for symptoms, clinical manifestations, the activity and damage grading of BKC. A paired

resultsThe mean age of the patients was 16.3y. Blurred vision is the most common discomfort, followed by redness, and then photophobia. The duration of ocular discomfort lasted for 3.2y, on average. Three (18.8%) participants were associated with rosacea, while 11 (68.8%) patients had recurrent chalazion or hordeolum.

conclusionBKC combined with corneal perforation occurs mainly among young people with a long history of ocular discomfort. PKP, especially using a minimal graft, is an effective and safe option for treating the disease.
