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: To assess corneal tomography changes in keratoconus (KC) patients after long-term simultaneous use of topical cyclosporine and trehalose. Design: Retrospective observational study. Methods: Corneal tomography of 362 eyes with KC was performed using Pentacam (OCULUS Optikgerate Gmbh, Germany) at 1 Results: The mean follow-up time was 10.8 ± 6.01 months (range: 6 to 36 months). Based on a change in Kmax of 0.75, 1.0 and 1.25D criteria, more than 90% of the eyes were stable for each criterion at the last follow-up (initial classification). The AI model confirmed stability of corneal tomography in more than 95% of the eyes at the last follow-up (final classification). Conclusion: Most KC eyes had stable tomography findings between the first and last follow-up. Topical anti-inflammatory regimens may be useful for minimizing or eliminating KC progression.
