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

Corneal graft melting is a severe complication of keratoplasty. This review is to summarize the incidence, the pathogenesis, the risk factors, the prognosis and the prevention of corneal graft melting after keratoplasty. We systematically searched PubMed, Web of Science and WanFang database to retrieve potentially eligible articles about relevant clinical reports and animal experiments. We read the full texts to identify eligible articles. The selection of studies and data extraction were performed independently by two reviewers. In conclusion, the pathogenesis of corneal graft melting is complicated, and many risk factors are closely related to corneal graft melting. Analysis of pathogenesis and risk factors of corneal graft melting can facilitate the development of targeted therapies to better guide clinical practice.
