A Case Report of Successful Cataract Surgery in Theil-Behnke Corneal Dystrophy: A Visual Rehabilitation for the Patient.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Introduction: Thiel-Behnke corneal dystrophy is a rare inherited condition characterized by symmetrical subepithelial corneal opacities that gradually reduce vision. It is an autosomal dominant inherited epithelial stromal TGFB1 dystrophy that mainly causes visual impairment. Case Presentation: This case report describes case of a woman in her early 50s with progressive vision loss in her left eye over the past 3 months with a history of recurrent corneal erosions in childhood. Examination on a slit lamp showed corneal dystrophy affecting both eyes, matching the features of Thiel-Behnke dystrophy. Diagnosis was confirmed with anterior segment-optical coherence tomography, revealing a distinctive sawtooth pattern in Bowman's layer. The patient was managed conservatively for her dystrophy and was also surgically treated for her cataract in the left eye, which showed a significant improvement in her vision. Conclusion: Despite its rarity, Thiel-Behnke dystrophy along with cataract can severely impair vision, making early diagnosis and continuous monitoring crucial for preventing further visual decline.
