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 report a case of successful management of ligneous conjunctivitis (LC) in a pediatric patient. Methods: We report the case of a 6-month-old girl presenting with persistent thick membranes on the palpebral conjunctiva after an initial episode of infectious conjunctivitis. Results: Complete resolution of symptoms was achieved after 4 months of treatment with commercially available heparin-containing artificial tears and allogenic serum drops obtained from maternal blood. Genetic testing later revealed a homozygous pathologic variant of the plasminogen gene (PLG) confirming diagnosis of plasminogen deficiency with associated LC. Clinical remission was sustained 10 months after allogenic serum cessation. Conclusions: LC with ocular membrane formation is the most common clinical presentation in patients with type I plasminogen deficiency. The fibrin-rich membranes can lead to sight-threatening complications and reduced quality of life. This is a report of full resolution of ocular membranes in LC after a corticosteroid-sparing treatment combining heparin-containing artificial tears and allogenic serum eye drops in a pediatric patient.
