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

aimTo investigate the effect of adding autologous serum eye drops to the postoperative regime after amniotic membrane transplantation for severe persistent corneal ulcers.

methodsForty eyes of 40 patients with persistent corneal ulcers were randomly assigned to artificial tears (sodium hyaluronate 0.2%, ATs group,

resultsMean age of patients was 61.65±16.47y and 57.3±19.11y in the ATs group and ASEDs group, respectively. Twenty-two male and 18 female patients were included in the study. The improvement in visual acuity was significantly greater in the ASEDs group (0.14±0.04) than the ATs (0.08±0.04;

conclusionAutologous serum eye drops can lead to better visual acuity, more stable results and improved densitometry and should be considered in the postoperative care following amniotic membrane transplantation.
