Impact of donor graft quality on deep anterior lamellar Keratoplasty (DALK).
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 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
backgroundTo evaluate main features of donor tissue that may influence clinical outcome or complication rate after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).
methodsDonor tissue parameters of 84 consecutive corneal donor grafts used for big-bubble DALK surgery between June 2011 and December 2014 in 84 eyes of 84 patients with disorders of anterior corneal stroma were correlated to clinical outcome parameters of recipient eyes 12 months after surgery and 3 months after total suture removal. Main donor tissue parameters included age), post-mortem time, overall preservation time, preservation time after split and prior to transplantation, and preservation technique. Clinical outcome parameters included best spectacle corrected visual acuity (BSCVA), central corneal thickness (CCT), endothelial cell density (ECD) and complication rates. Pearson's correlation, linear regression analysis for clinical outcome parameter and logistic regression analysis for postsurgical complication rates were applied.
resultsCorneal donors were mean aged 67.4 ± 12.5 years with a post-mortem time of 20.7 ± 14.7 h and ECD of 2641.0 ± 362.8 cells/mm
conclusionsDonor corneas, independent of excision techniques or preservation method, with donor age ≤ 88 years, post-mortem time ≤ 63 h, overall preservation time ≤ 14 days for cold storaged donor tissue and ≤35 days for organ culture, and preservation time after split prior to grafting ≤96 h, seem to be applicable as safe donor tissue for DALK surgery.
