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

Objective: To evaluate the clinical outcomes and perioperative nursing outcomes of low-temperature plasma ablation (LTPA) for the treatment of superficial corneal diseases. Methods: This retrospective study analyzed 38 patients who underwent LTPA between June 2022 and January 2024. Patients were grouped by etiology into refractive/structural ( Results: The study population consisted of 38 patients (including 16 males and 22 females), with a mean age of 51.97 ± 2.36 years (range: 22-87 years). Patients in the infectious group exhibited significantly longer epithelial healing times compared to those in the noninfectious group ( Conclusion: LTPA appears to be a feasible and well-tolerated approach for treating superficial corneal disorders, associated with preliminary outcomes being observed across both infectious and noninfectious etiologies. These findings suggest that perioperative nursing protocols and digital image-based monitoring may support objective healing tracking and enhance patient care, although these observational results require prospective validation.
