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
Purpose: To develop a novel chaos-inspired artificial intelligence (AI)-based system for keratoconus prediction. Methods: We constructed, trained, and tested our prediction model using corneal tomography data obtained from Pentacam and Sirius imaging systems. The study included 65 healthy individuals and 48 patients with keratoconus recruited from a private ophthalmology clinic and Bina Eye Hospital in Tehran, Iran. Model development included stratified partitioning of the data into training and testing sets, followed by performance evaluation using standard classification metrics. Scheimpflug-based tomographic parameters were preprocessed, normalized, and analyzed using a chaos-inspired tensor decomposition framework. Results: Using Pentacam data, the model achieved sensitivity and specificity values of 88% and 90%, respectively. When using Sirius data, the sensitivity and specificity increased to 92% and 96%, respectively. Performance metrics were reproducible across repeated random train-test splits, indicating model stability. The chaos-inspired AI-based model demonstrated balanced sensitivity and specificity across both imaging systems, supporting robust discrimination between keratoconus and normal eyes. Conclusion: Given the complex and nonlinear behavior of keratoconus progression, influenced by biomechanical, genetic, and environmental interactions, we developed a novel chaos-inspired AI-based system (Iran Model) capable of accurately detecting keratoconus. Although the findings are promising, further validation in larger cohorts is required.
