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: This report describes a patient with anterior and posterior corneal topographic changes who developed refractory keratitis due to Case: A 42-year-old man presented with blurred vision and pain in his right eye. He used disposable soft contact lenses for 2 weeks with appropriate care. He had open-angle glaucoma, atopic dermatitis, and diabetes mellitus. At the initial presentation, a corneal epithelial defect, cell infiltration, strong hyperemia, hypopyon, and inflammation in the anterior chamber were observed. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography disclosed corneal edema and cloudiness, and the central corneal thickness had increased to 988 Conclusion: Nontuberculous M. chelonae should be considered in patients with treatment-resistant keratitis, especially in contact lens users. Topographic changes are important for evaluating corneal edema and irregular astigmatism, which impair visual function after keratitis.
