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

Corneal allogeneic intrastromal ring segments (CAIRS) were recently introduced as a novel treatment modality for corneal diseases, such as keratoconus or postoperative ectasia after laser-refractive surgery. Contrary to other conventional surgical treatments for ectatic conditions, CAIRS is minimally invasive, freely adjustable in its size and length and has a short learning curve as well as a good safety profile. This article provides step-by-step instructions for the performance and integration of the CAIRS procedure into clinical practice.
