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

aimTo report the 18-month clinical outcomes of the progressively higher fluence pulsed light (7.2 to 10 J/cm

methodsThis was a prospective, non-randomized interventional study. Fluence was assigned based on preoperative pachymetry: 7.2 J/cm

resultsTotally 32 eyes of 32 patients aged over 26y with progressive keratoconus underwent PFPL M Epi-On ACXL were included. All groups demonstrated long-term stability in UDVA and CDVA. The 10 J/cm CONCUSION: PFPL M Epi-On ACXL appears to be a safe, repeatable, and effective long-term treatment for progressive keratoconus. The 10 J/cm
