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

purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the anatomical, therapeutic, and functional outcome of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) in terms of success and failure.

methodsIn this retrospective study 57 eyes of 57 patients were reviewed. They had undergone TPK from December 2012 to June 2017. Data analyzed included the baseline demographic features and characteristics, preoperative diagnosis, and postoperative outcomes. The baseline characteristics included age, gender, laterality, indications of TPK, lens status, size of the recipient, grade of the graft, organisms identified, preoperative best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), secondary procedures, adjunctive surgical procedure, postoperative BCVA at last follow-up, intraocular pressure (IOP), and long-term complications of TPK. The ultimate outcome of TPK was observed in terms of anatomical, therapeutic, and functional outcome which indicated the success and failure.

resultsA total of 57 eyes of 57 with an age range of 2-76-year-old patients who underwent TPK were included in the study. Perforated corneal ulcer was a major indication of TPK in 32 (56.1%) cases. Anatomical success was obtained overall in 49 (85.96%) cases. Indications of TPK and preoperative visual acuity, complications of TPK, and ultimate graft clarity showed significant impact on the anatomical outcome (

conclusionsPerforated corneal ulcers was the major indication for TPK. Indications and complications significantly affect the anatomical, therapeutic, and functional outcome.
