Amniotic Membrane Transplantation in Reconstructive and Regenerative Ophthalmology.
Article in Annals of transplantation, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 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
BACKGROUND The goal of this study was to investigate numbers, indications, surgical techniques, and experiences of amniotic membrane transplantation at the University Eye Hospital Tübingen over the last 16 years. MATERIAL AND METHODS Data from all amniotic membrane transplantations from January 2001 to December 2016 were retrospectively analyzed. Data was accessed from the electronic database and the annual reports of the Eye Bank at the University Eye Hospital Tübingen. RESULTS A total of 771 amniotic membrane transplantations were performed between 2001 and 2016 at the University Eye Hospital Tübingen. The mean number of amniotic membrane transplantations was 48 per year (range: 7-81). Overall, the mean number of amniotic membrane transplantations more than doubled, from 31 amniotic membrane transplantations per year during the first 8-year period to 66 amniotic membrane transplantations per year during the second 8-year period (p<0.0001). The most common surgical indications for amniotic membrane transplantation were corneal ulcers and persistent corneal epithelial defects. The inlay, overlay, and sandwich technique became the favored surgical methods for various disorders of the ocular surface. CONCLUSIONS Our study showed a significant increase of amniotic membrane transplantations from 2001 to 2016. This increase is likely influenced by the introduction of different surgical amniotic membrane transplantation techniques, the rising knowledge about containing growth factors, neurotrophins and cytokines, and the demographic change with aging of the population.
