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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesRosacea is a chronic inflammatory dermatosis that may involve the eye, causing surface and adnexal damage that can precede cutaneous signs. Detecting subclinical ocular changes is clinically important because early ocular surface dysfunction may be missed on routine examination yet progress to corneal complications, allowing earlier preventive management when identified. We prospectively evaluated subclinical ocular alterations in cutaneous rosacea using a combined, fully non-invasive high-tech imaging workflow-tear film interferometry, infrared meibography, and exploratory retinal optical coherence tomography angiography (OCT-A)-including patients without clinically evident ocular involvement.
methodsSixteen patients with cutaneous rosacea (mean age 44.3 ± 11.2 years; 4 males, 12 females) were enrolled and divided into: Group 1-rosacea with clinically evident ocular involvement (
resultsOCT-A showed no significant alterations in superficial or deep retinal plexuses across groups (
conclusionsTear film interferometry and meibography detect early ocular surface impairment in rosacea-even in the absence of clinical signs-while retinal microvasculature appears unaffected. Routine ophthalmologic screening of all rosacea patients could enable prompt treatment of subclinical dysfunction, potentially preventing corneal complications. Retinal OCTA metrics were not significantly different in this small pilot cohort, and these negative findings should be interpreted cautiously pending larger studies.
