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 evaluate the demography, clinical characteristics, and risk factors of keratoconus (KCN) patients attending a tertiary eye center in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Methods: This prospective cross-sectional study included KCN patients who visited Ophthalmology Clinic, Hospital Canselor Tuanku Muhriz UKM, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia between January 2022 and October 2023. Their demographic details, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA), clinical findings, refraction, and risk factors were recorded. Topographical data and KCN classification were obtained through Oculus Pentacam (Wetzlar, Germany). Results: Out of 71,862 cases, 78 KCN patients were identified, with the majority having bilateral KCN (75.6%). The patients were 27.90 ± 7.37 years old on average and were predominantly male (55.1%) and Malay (70.5%). The KCN severity also varied between patients (12.8% mild, 43.6% moderate, and 43.6% severe). No significant association was found between the patient's demographics and KCN severity ( Conclusion: Patients' demographics were not a determinant of KCN severity. Eye rubbing and atopy were the most significant risk factors for KCN in Malaysia. Thus, KCN screening for patients with atopy and ocular allergies is vital for KCN prevention.
