[Prevention and management of complications in Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK)].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundPosterior lamellar keratoplasty, in the form of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK), has become a standard procedure for therapy of endothelial diseases of the cornea. The aim of this article is to describe strategies to prevent and manage complications in DMEK and DSAEK surgery.
methodsThe article is based on a PubMed literature search and own clinical data. Key words used were "DMEK", "DSAEK", "Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty" and "Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty".
resultsThe DMEK and DSAEK procedures are safe surgical strategies for treating endothelial corneal diseases if the indications are made correctly.
conclusionsThe DMEK procedure is the standard procedure for improvement of visual acuity especially for younger patients with Fuchs' dystrophy and DSAEK is particularly suitable for eyes with complicated anterior chamber situations.
