Simultaneous Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty and posterior iris-claw-fixated intra ocular lens implantation (IOL) in management of aphakic bullous keratopathy.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
To evaluate the efficacy of combined procedure of Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and posterior iris-claw-fixated intra ocular lens (IOL) implantation in the management of aphakic bullous keratopathy (ABK). Sankara eye centre, a tertiary eye care centre. A prospective case series analysis. A prospective study comprised ten eyes of ten patients who underwent DMEK and posterior iris-claw-fixated IOL. Mean follow-up period was 12-36 months. Pre-operative and post-operative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), endothelial cell density (ECD) and complications were noted. A total ten eyes of ten patients underwent DMEK. Out of ten patients BCVA improved from 1.00 to 1.60 LogMAR with mean and SD of 1.40 ± 0.20 to +0.20-0.40 LogMAR with mean and SD of 0.30 ± 0.07, with a significant p value of <0.001, Mean ECD of the donor tissue pre-operatively was 2367 cells, whereas 24 months post-operatively it was reduced to 1798 cells. Mean reduction in ECD pre procedure and post procedure was 569 (24 %). Iris-fixated IOL appears to offer simplicity in implantation and may be combined with DMEK in ABK. This procedure provides a faster visual recovery than other endothelial keratoplasties with iris-fixated IOL.
