Emerging Treatments for Persistent Corneal Epithelial Defects.
Review in Vision (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Persistent corneal epithelial defects (PCEDs) are a challenging ocular condition characterized by the failure of complete corneal epithelial healing after an insult or injury, even after 14 days of standard care. There is a lack of therapeutics that target this condition and encourage re-epithelialization of the corneal surface in a timely and efficient manner. This review aims to provide an overview of current standards of management for PCEDs, highlighting novel, emerging treatments in this field. While many of the current non-surgical treatments aim to provide lubrication and mechanical support, novel non-surgical approaches are undergoing development to harness the proliferative and healing properties of human mesenchymal stem cells, platelets, lufepirsen, hyaluronic acid, thymosin ß4,
