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: Limited knowledge exists about the recurrence and complications of rotational flaps harvested from the inferior bulbar conjunctiva in pterygium surgery. This study aimed to investigate the outcomes and recurrence rate of pterygium surgery using inferior rotational conjunctival flap (IRCF) compared with superior rotational conjunctival flap (SRCF) surgery. Methods: This randomized clinical trial was performed on 82 candidates for pterygium surgery (primary pterygium with horizontal extension Results: Recurrence was observed in two patients in each group: in group A, one case in the third month and another in the sixth month post-surgery; and in group B, two cases in the third month post-surgery. Frequency of corneal epithelial defect healing, frequency of complications, inflammation severity, BCVA, and recurrence rate did not differ between the two groups at any follow-up visits ( Conclusion: Pterygium surgery with IRCF can be a safe and effective method for treating primary pterygium, especially when potential glaucoma filtration surgery is considered or when a proper superior bulbar conjunctiva is not available. Further multicenter prospective trials are needed to confirm the benefits of this technique.
