Outcome of repeat penetrating keratoplasty in eyes with failed penetrating keratoplasty.
Article in Saudi medical journal, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
objectivesTo report the outcomes of penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) surgeries in eyes with failed PKP.
methodsThis was a retrospective, non-comparative, descriptive case series. Thirty eyes of 30 patients with failed PKP comprised our study group, they were reviewed from January 2007 to December 2012 at the King Khaled Eye Specialist Hospital, Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Data were collected on best corrected visual acuity before and after one week, one month, 3 months, 6 months, one year, and 2 years following PKP. Intraoperative and postoperative complications, changes in intraocular pressure (IOP), additional surgical procedure and other ocular comorbidities were also documented. The visual outcomes at 6 months and one year were associated with risk factors.
resultsBefore intervention, 18 (60%) eyes had vision less than 20/400. Vision was 20/20 to 20/60 in 10 (30%) eyes at 6 months, 17 (57%) eyes at 12 months, and 22 (73%) eyes at 24 months. The variation in IOP at different follow up periods was not significant (p=0.2). The presence of other ocular comorbidity was not significantly associated with functional visual outcome (p=0.4). Additional surgical procedure after repeat PKP enabled a regain of excellent vision in 9 (47%) eyes at one year. The numbers for past corneal surgeries were significantly associated with the visual outcome at 6 months.
conclusionPenetrating keratoplasty to manage failed PKP resulted in reducing visual disabilities.
