1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 present an atypical case of a 71-year-old male with recurrent ligneous conjunctivitis following bilateral rectus muscle recession for strabismus. Observations: Ligneous conjunctivitis is a rare, chronic form of pseudomembranous conjunctivitis most often seen in infants and children. The condition is typically caused by autosomal recessive variants in the Conclusion: This case highlights the late onset of ligneous conjunctivitis in an older adult, likely triggered by surgical trauma. It underscores the importance of considering plasminogen deficiency in recurrent conjunctival lesions, even in older patients.
