Differential Diagnosis of Corneal Manifestations in Hypovitaminosis and Retinitis Pigmentosa.
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: To report on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach in a patient with retinitis pigmentosa (RP), hypovitaminoses, and bilateral corneal involvement. Case Report: A 62-year-old woman, diagnosed with RP, presented with photophobia, sudden bilateral visual decline, and known long-term night blindness. Ophthalmic examination showed corneal perforation in the right eye, corneal ulcer in the left eye, and bilateral corneal hypoesthesia. She had undergone bariatric surgery and recently suspended vitamin supplementation. Blood tests revealed hypovitaminoses A, D, D3, and E. The patient underwent tectonic keratoplasty in the right eye and received topical therapy in the left eye, and then restarted vitamin supplementation as recommended by the nutritionist. Significant functional recovery was documented in both eyes at 1-, 3-, and 10-month follow-ups. Conclusion: The case highlights the importance of an integrative approach that includes comprehensive history taking, targeted laboratory work-up, as well as accurate differential diagnosis, especially given the potential multifactorality of ocular symptoms and signs.
