Ethnic and sex differences in corneal nerves and corneal epithelial cells in healthy population.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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: We aim to investigate the ethnic and sex differences in corneal nerves and epithelial cell metrics among healthy Chinese and Indian populations. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 15,850 corneal nerve and 9,510 corneal epithelial cell images from 328 individuals, categorized into Chinese and Indian ethnicities. Results: There were 208 Chinese participants (101 males, 107 females) in this study with a mean age of 57.0 ± 15.6 years, and 120 Indian participants (58 males, 62 females) with a mean age of 55.8 ± 21.2 years ( Conclusion: Our study identifies significant ethnic and sex disparities in corneal nerves and epithelium. These should be considered when evaluating corneal metrics in Chinese and Indian populations.
