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

Diabetic neuropathy (DN) is the most common complication of diabetes mellitus (DM) and often involves the cornea, where progressive loss of nerve fibers contributes to impaired corneal sensitivity and wound healing defects. Current treatments are limited, underscoring the need for a regenerative therapy. Transcutaneous electrical stimulation (ES) is a neural modulating therapy that non-invasively delivers microcurrent electricity to the eye via orbital skin. ES treatment significantly restored the nerve density and sensory function in both streptozotocin-induced DM mice and
