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

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the changes in the meibomian glands (MGs) and ocular surface parameters after corneal cross-linking (CXL) in keratoconus patients. Methods: Forty-eight eyes of 48 keratoconus patients that underwent epi-off CXL were included in this prospective study. Upper and lower lid MGs were assessed with non-contact meibography at preoperatively, 1 Results: K1, K2, Kmean, and Kmax were decreased at post-operative 12 Conclusion: CXL treatment did not significantly affect the NI-TBUT and MGs morphology, while improving ocular symptoms.
