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
purposeTo investigate the conjunctival and eyelid margin bacterial microbiota in children with blepharoconjunctivitis by using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing.
methodsIn this prospective cross-sectional study, 20 children aged between 3-15 years with blepharoconjunctivitis or blepharokeratokonjunctivitis formed Blepharitis Group and 21 children aged between 3-15 years without any ocular and sysemic diseases except mild refractive errors formed Control Group. Swap samples from all children were taken. The alpha diversity of the ocular surface microbiota within each group were evaluated by using Shannon's, Simpson, and Chao index. Beta diversity was evaluated by Bray Curtis index.
resultsMicrobiological diversity was higher in the patient group than in the control group. According to Shannon's, Simpson, and Chao index, there were statistically difference between groups (p: 0.000013, p:000003 p: 0.00235, respectively). According to the Bray Curtis index, the healthy eye microbiome in the control group is observed to be highly similar, consistent with other analyses, and the overlapping cluster with the blepharitis eye microbiome is quite low (pco1: 40.93%). Sphingoblump, Micrococus, Lacnospiracebacterium, Stenothermophilus, Aurelmonass, Micrococus, Blatiabeum, Delfiacdiovorans and Vellonella densities were found to be higher in the patient group.
conclusionBoth alpha and beta diversity analyses were significantly higher in pediatric age group patients with blepharitis. In addition, Lacnospiracebacterium, Stenothermophilus, Aurelmonass, Micrococus, Blatiabeum, Delfiacdiovorans and Vellonella densities were found to be higher, which may lead to future studies focused on diagnosis and treatment.
