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

purposeTo describe the prevalence and the corneal endothelium´s morphology in Hispanic patients with primary corneal guttata (PCG).

methodsRetrospective comparative study of PCG and healthy individuals.

results122 (17.38%) PCG out of 702 eyes from 356 healthy patients with no surgeries nor a familiar history of Fuchs´ dystrophy were studied. The mean age of PCG patients was 68.12 ± 10.59 years (45-88 years). While the mean cell density (MCD) in PCG group was 1893.61 ± 597.01 cells/mm

conclusionA high proportion of PCG was observed in this Hispanic population. These patients show a lower-than-average MCD compared to a healthy population. A high rate of polymegethism and pleomorphism was observed, particularly in females, where PCG was more frequent.
