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

Purpose: To describe unique features surrounding the etiology, diagnosis, and management of a rare presentation of hemorrhagic detachment of Descemet membrane. Observations: A 91-year-old woman with chronic marginal corneal degeneration and corneal neovascularization of both eyes presented with hemorrhagic detachment of Descemet membrane of the right eye. Conclusions and Importance: This case highlights the need to consider pre-Descemet hemorrhage on the differential diagnosis for anterior segment hemorrhage even in the absence of risk factors such as surgery and trauma. This case, initially thought to represent a hyphema, underscores the importance of anterior segment imaging in accurate diagnosis and monitoring of this condition. Lastly, this case illustrates a management approach that successfully cleared the hemorrhage, reattached Descemet membrane, and restored visual acuity without keratoplasty.
