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

backgroundOur aim was to demonstrate the publication trends of corneal transplantation in the last decade.

methodsAll of the keratoplasty research articles, letters, case reports, reviews and meeting abstracts published between January 2006 and December 2015 indexed on the Thomson Reuters Web of Knowledge were evaluated. A bibliometric filter was used to capture keratoplasty related publications by using the key words 'keratoplasty', 'corneal transplantation' or 'keratoprosthesis' in the 'title' selection mode.

resultsA total of 2726 publications were evaluated in the present study. Documents related to penetrating keratoplasty only have been decreased, whereas the documents related to endothelial keratoplasty were increased in the last decade. The total keratoplasty publication counts had been increased from the year 2006 to 2015. The average citation count per keratoplasty documents was 9.34.

conclusionsThere is a growing interest to the lamellar keratoplasty techniques especially the endothelial keratoplasty in the last decade.
