Cryo-Depleted Plasma Infusions for Ligneous Conjunctivitis.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
Introduction: This case report presents the clinical, histological, and genetic characteristics of a patient with ligneous conjunctivitis and to provide a long-term treatment schedule, using cryo-depleted plasma infusions in combination with topical cyclosporine as a successful therapeutic option. Case Presentation: A 12-year-old Turkish girl experienced years of ocular itching, irritation, and increased light sensitivity. Initial clinical examination revealed the presence of pseudomembranes and giant papillae on the tarsal conjunctivae of both eyes. The biopsy of a membrane from the left eye was taken for histological examination. Manifestations of severe comorbidity since infancy (congenital hydrocephalus, asthma, recurrent respiratory infections, and impaired wound healing) and parental consanguinity prompted a genetic evaluation. The pseudomembranes were composed of fibrin, granulation tissue, and inflammatory cells consistent with the diagnosis of ligneous conjunctivitis. The genetic analysis revealed homozygosity for a pathogenic missense variant in plasminogen (PLG), causing PLG deficiency. Due to severe systemic complications, the patient was successfully treated with cryo-depleted plasma infusions and cyclosporine eye drops, resulting in the complete remission of the ligneous conjunctivitis. Conclusion: This case report highlights the importance of considering PLG deficiency in patients with recurring chronic conjunctivitis. Long-term treatment with cryo-depleted plasma infusions in combination with short-term use of topical cyclosporine may provide an efficient therapeutic option for ligneous conjunctivitis in patients with PLG deficiency.
