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

This retrospective multicenter cohort study investigated the incidence, treatment, and prognostic impact of dysregulated intraocular pressure (DIOP; >24 mmHg requiring therapy) in patients with acanthamoeba keratitis (AK). Eighty-one eyes from 81 patients with confirmed AK were included; co-infections were excluded. DIOP and best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were assessed at baseline, follow-up, and after penetrating keratoplasty (PKP). Overall, 28% of eyes were managed conservatively, 46% required one PKP, and 26% required two. DIOP occurred in 4% before AK, 11% after AK onset, and 10% after the first PKP. Eyes with DIOP prior to PKP had significantly worse final BCVA compared to those without DIOP (0.5 ± 0.7 vs. 1.8 ± 1.1 logMAR,
