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

aimTo determine if there is any difference in long term graft survival between Descemet's stripping endothelial keratoplasty (DSEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (PK).

methodsA retrospective 5-year cases analysis of bullous keratopathy secondary to Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy, receiving either DSEK or PK. A total of 42 DSEK cases and 25 PK cases were included in the analysis.

resultsIn the 5-year analysis, graft survival rates were very similar in the two groups (DSEK 77.1%

conclusionLong term 5-year graft survival is similar between the DSEK and PK methods of corneal transplant in Chinese patients with bullous keratopathy.
