Rare stromal corneal dystrophic diseases in Oman: A clinical and histopathological analysis for accurate diagnosis.

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
introductionCorneal dystrophy (CD) encirclements a heterogeneous group of genetically determined corneal diseases. Many features still remain unknown.
aimThe purpose of this study was to highlight the clinical and the histopathological aspects of rare stromal CDs and to assess the clinical and the histopathological roles in their diagnosis. PATIENTS AND
methodsThis study incorporated 10 eyes of six patients, clinically diagnosed as follows: four patients with bilateral lattice stromal CD (8 eyes) and two patients, each one eye, one with macular and the other with granular-type CD. Histopathological examination with applications of many special stains was done in four eyes (4 patients) after penetrating keratoplasty.
resultsThe histopathological examination was in concordance with the clinical diagnosis of three examined corneas and revealed first eye with lattice dystrophy, second eye with macular dystrophy, and third eye with granular dystrophy. The fourth examined cornea was not that in concordance with the clinical diagnosis of lattice CD as it showed mixed stromal CD patterns of granular, macular, and lattice types.
conclusionHistopathological assessment of corneal dystrophy cases, subjected to keratoplasty is recommended to avoid missing cases with mixed stromal corneal dystrophy. Also, using low magnification slit lamp alone in the clinical assessment of the corneal opacity appeared to be limited mode and thus, the imaging corneal methods such confocal microscopy and high-definition optical coherence tomography are recommended for future cases especially in cases with unclassic query diagnosis.
