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
We report a rare case of unilateral secondary angle-closure glaucoma associated with congenital acorea in a 10-month-old male infant. Acorea is a rare congenital eye abnormality characterized by the complete absence of the pupil. The left cornea of this patient measured 13.0 mm vertically and horizontally, with opacities observed. The anterior chamber was absent, and the pupil was completely occluded. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was 26 mmHg, and axial length was 25.3 mm. The fundus was not visible due to acorea. The patient was diagnosed with secondary angle-closure glaucoma due to acorea. To relieve angle closure, a pupil was created under general anesthesia. After blunt dissection with viscoelastic, a vitreous cutter was inserted through a corneal incision, and central iridectomy was performed. Anterior chamber depth was normalized immediately. Despite initial surgical pupil formation and two trabeculotomies, IOP remained uncontrolled, requiring sequential implantation of an Ahmed glaucoma valve and a Baerveldt glaucoma implant. Although the postoperative IOP stabilized, the patient developed endophthalmitis six months later due to
