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
This report aims to raise awareness among ophthalmologists about gonococcal keratitis, which may present with peripheral corneal thinning and ulceration accompanied by mucopurulent discharge. A high index of suspicion facilitates early diagnosis, timely intervention, and improved visual outcomes. We describe three cases: a 49-year-old male presenting with right eye redness, vision loss, and purulent discharge from both the eye and urethra, whose examination revealed peripheral corneal thinning with perforation and iris plugging; a 28-year-old healthy male with a two-day history of decreased visual acuity, photophobia, and purulent discharge in the left eye, with findings of a corneal perforation at the 10 o'clock position and peripheral thinning; and a 19-year-old male reporting seven days of right eye redness, purulent discharge, lid swelling, and vision loss, preceded by a five-day history of urethral discharge and dysuria, with examination showing peripheral corneal thinning and ulceration with corneal perforation. Corneal swabs from all three patients tested positive for
