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

Background: Fungal keratitis is a severe vision-threatening corneal infection with a prognosis influenced by fungal virulence and the host's immune defense mechanisms. However, there is still a lack of effective drugs that attenuate fungal virulence while relieving the inflammatory response caused by fungal keratitis. Purpose: Finding an effective treatment to solve these problems is particularly important. Methods: We synthesized Zeolitic imidazolate framework-90 (ZIF-90) by water-based synthesis method and characterized it. In vitro experiments included mycelium electron microscopy, Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8), and Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). These trials verified the disruptive effects of ZIF-90 on morphology, cell membrane, cell wall, and biofilm formation of Aspergillus fumigatus ( Results: ZIF-90 has therapeutic effects on fungal keratitis, which could break the protective organelles of
