Changes in endothelial morphology and ocular aberrations in pterygium.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2026. 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
aimTo compare changes in the corneal surface and endothelium, and to investigate their relationship with the horizontal length (HL), vertical length (VL), and depth of pterygium.
methodsThis study analyzed 34 eyes with unilateral primary pterygium and compared them to the 34 fellow eyes. Topographic values, wavefront aberrations, and specular microscopy findings were assessed. In addition, correlation analyses were conducted between the HLs and VLs, as well as the depth of pterygium.
resultsThe mean age of the patients was 60.18±11.36y (38.2% females). Uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA) was lower, and corneal astigmatism was higher in the pterygium group (
conclusionThe effect of pterygium on corneal aberrations is more strongly associated with its HL than with its VL. Depth do not affect aberrations, and pterygium has no significant effect on the ECD.
