[Technique of Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) : Video article].
Review in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2018. 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
backgroundDescemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) selectively removes diseased corneal endothelium and Descemet membrane and replaces them with healthy donor tissue. The DMEK technique represents the current gold standard for the treatment of corneal endothelial dysfunction.
methodsIn this article the surgical technique for DMEK is presented by means of a video. The indications for surgery, patient education, anesthesia and patient positioning, postoperative treatment as well as possible complications and their management are described.
resultsThe DMEK can be applied for the treatment of a wide range of corneal endothelial disorders. In addition to the operative implementation, the basis for the outstanding results of the surgical procedure are careful donor-patient allocation, thorough examination and follow-up of all patients and experience of the surgeon.
conclusionThe use of DMEK is a safe and effective procedure for the treatment of corneal endothelial dysfunction. A standardized and individualized procedure provides the basis for optimal results compared to all previous transplantation procedures.
