Contact lens-related versus non-contact lens-related
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
Background: Methods: A retrospective cohort study of culture-confirmed PA keratitis cases that presented to the Birmingham and Midland Eye Centre (Birmingham, UK) and Queen's Medical Centre (Nottingham, UK) between August 2016 and January 2020. Demographics, clinical characteristics, risk factors, and outcomes were analysed and compared between CL-related and non-CL-related groups. Results: Sixty-six patients (66 eyes) were included; mean age was 54.0 ± 20.9 years and 59.1% were female. CL wear accounted for 35 (53.1%) cases. At presentation, mean CDVA was 1.26 ± 0.96 logMAR (~6/120 Snellen). Hospitalisation occurred in 71.2% cases, with 19.7% cases requiring surgery. Most isolated PA (64, 97.0%) were antibiotic-susceptible. Compared to non-CL-related keratitis, CL-related keratitis was more commonly associated with younger age, better initial vision, smaller and non-central ulcers, and absence of hypopyon (all Conclusion: PA keratitis remains a significant cause of ocular morbidity in the United Kingdom. CL-related disease shows distinct clinical features and better outcomes likely due to lower presenting disease severity and timely management of the disease.
