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

Bilateral limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD) treatment requires the need to obtain allogenic limbal tissue for transplantation. Outcomes of different surgical techniques depend on multiple factors, including the underlying etiology, ocular surface, eyelid status and used surgical intervention. Some of the management options for bilateral LSCD include cadaveric, living related or living non-related conjunctival limbal allograft (CLAL), keratolimbal allograft (KLAL), allogenic cultured limbal epithelial transplantation (CLET) and allogenic simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET). Systemic immunosuppressive therapy plays a pivotal role in survival of transplanted tissue. The present review focuses on different systemic immunosuppression protocols for limbal allograft and allogenic limbal epithelial cell transplantation, with specific emphasis on different surgical techniques and their outcomes. We included all reports with details of different systemic immunosuppression protocols for limbal allograft and allogenic limbal epithelial cell transplantation. Oral cyclosporine A at different doses is the most commonly used immunosuppressive agent in limbal allograft and allogenic limbal epithelial cell transplantation. However, different studies using oral mycophenolate mofetil and tacrolimus also reported good results. In conclusion, systemic immunosuppression protocols for limbal allograft and allogenic limbal epithelial cell transplantation are not standardized. Further studies regarding different surgical techniques should assess outcomes and adverse effects of such protocols.
