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

purposeTo describe the outcomes of endothelial keratoplasty (EK) for bullous keratopathy in eyes with a retained angle-supported anterior chamber intraocular lens (acIOL).

methodsAmong 263 consecutive EK procedures, 7 DMEK and 11 DSAEK procedures were identified in eyes with an acIOL and included in the present retrospective case series. Pre- and postoperative status including ocular history, anatomical outcome and complications as well as best-corrected visual acuity was evaluated.

resultsOcular history included complicated cataract surgery (n = 11), ocular trauma (n = 4) and primary intracapsular cataract extraction (n = 3). Surgery-related complications included primary graft failure (n = 1), graft detachment (n = 1), endophthalmitis (n = 1) and allograft rejection (n = 1). A clear cornea at the final examination (14 ± 4 months) was observed in 14/18 (78%), while the visual outcome was limited due to significant ocular comorbidity in 9 out of 14 uncomplicated procedures.

conclusionThe presented short-term outcomes suggest that both DMEK and DSAEK are feasible in eyes with an angle-supported acIOL yielding an acceptable graft survival rate in the first postoperative year.
