Bulbar Conjunctival Thickness in Eyes with Pseudoexfoliation Measured by Anterior Segment OCT.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic & vision research, 2025. 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
Purpose: Eyes with pseudoexfoliation demonstrate fragile intraocular structures. The current study evaluated conjunctival thickness in pseudoexfoliation eyes as compared to a control group. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, patients with pseudoexfoliation and an age-matched control group underwent measurement of bulbar conjunctival thickness in the superior and temporal quadrants, 1, 2, and 3 mm posterior to the limbus using anterior segment OCT. Results: A total of 140 eyes of 140 subjects including 68 eyes of 68 patients with pseudoexfoliation and 72 eyes of 72 control subjects without pseudoexfoliation were studied. Both study groups were divided into two subgroups - those using glaucoma drops versus medication-free eyes. Total conjunctival thickness in pseudoexfoliation eyes was significantly lower than control eyes across all comparisons. Conjunctival thickness in the superior quadrant 1, 2, and 3 mm from the limbus was 177.62 Conclusion: Conjunctival thickness was significantly less in pseudoexfoliation eyes than an age-matched control group which supports clinical observations of thinner and more fragile conjunctiva in these eyes with implications for glaucoma surgery.
