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

We evaluated the visual outcome of combined penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) and 25G pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) performed without a temporary keratoprosthesis or endoscopy in a patient with vitreoretinal disease complicated by severe corneal opacity. The patient was a 68-year-old woman who had severe corneal opacity and silicone oil in her left eye after several previous intraocular surgeries for rhegmatogenous retinal detachment and proliferative vitreoretinopathy. We successfully performed a combined surgery of conventional PKP followed by 25G PPV without the use of a keratoprosthesis. At 6 months after surgery, visual acuity had not improved, and the density of corneal endothelial cells of the donor cornea had declined from 3,205 to 1,969 cells/mm
