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 report the combined approach of corneal allogeneic intrastromal ring segment (CAIRS) transplantation and cataract surgery in a cataract patient with corneal ectasia. Case report: A 75-year-old male presented with age-related corticonuclear cataract, high myopia, and corneal ectasia on his right eye. After detailed discussion of treatment options, the patient wished to undergo a combined approach of CAIRS procedure and cataract surgery on his right eye. A femtosecond-laser (Wavelight FS200, Alcon, USA) was used to create a corneal pocket at mid-stromal depth and incision at 190°. Then, cataract surgery was performed with a 2.5-mm corneal incision, manual capsulorhexis, and phacoemulsification. A 3-piece intraocular lens (IOL) with a dioptric power of 0 diopter (D) (target refraction: -3.0 D) was implanted into the capsular bag. After cataract surgery, an 8-mm CAIRS tissue with 160° arc and 500 μm thickness was inserted (KeraNatural, VisionGift, USA) into the stromal pocket. Follow-up examination at 3-months postoperatively demonstrated improved uncorrected (UDVA) and corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), topographic parameters, as well as high satisfaction rate. Conclusions: Our case report shows that an immediate sequential CAIRS transplantation and cataract surgery may be a viable option in managing cataract patients with corneal ectasia.
