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
Background: Materials and Methods: In a prospective analysis, corneal scrapings, CL, and lens solution specimens processed in the department of parasitology between January 2019 and December 2021 were subjected to microscopy, axenic culture on nonnutrient agar, and 18SrRNA PCR. The amplified products were subjected to gene sequencing, and a phylogenetic tree was constructed using available sequences in the database. Results: Ten cases of AK were identified by culture and PCR during the study period. Sequence analysis and phylogenetic tree revealed that nine were genotype T4 and one was T5. The mean age of the patients was 29.5 years (range: 16-39 years), and male: female was 9:1. History of CL wearing was present only in four patients and extended wear in only one. Another patient had a history of ocular trauma, while five others had no risk factor. All were treated with polymyxin, polyhexamethylene biguanide, and voriconazole, and two underwent therapeutic keratoplasty. Conclusion: A high index of suspicion should be kept in patients even without classical AK risk factors. Microbiological diagnosis along with genotyping would add to the increasing database of global AK cases.
