Review of the Frequent Occurrence of Pterygium on the Nasal Side.
Review in Journal of current ophthalmology. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: To investigate the predominant occurrence of pterygium on the nasal side of the eye and elucidate the underlying mechanisms. Methods: A comprehensive review was conducted by searching the PubMed and Google Scholar databases for articles published from January 1990 to May 2023. Keywords used included "pterygium", "nasal side", "risk factors", "pathogenesis", and "review". Articles were selected based on their relevance to the pathogenesis of pterygium. Results: This review identifies multiple factors that may contribute to the frequent occurrence of pterygium on the nasal side. These include increased exposure to ultraviolet light, genetic predispositions, tear film abnormalities, viral infections, allergic reactions, and habitual eye rubbing. Conclusions: Comparing responses of the nasal and temporal conjunctiva to various physical and chemical stimuli could provide insight into the mechanisms driving this condition.
