The Incidence and Outcomes of Recurrence of Infection after Therapeutic Penetrating Keratoplasty for Medically-Uncontrolled Infectious Keratitis.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThis study aimed to investigate the outcome of therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK) for medically-uncontrolled infectious keratitis, and to determine the factors associated with the recurrence of infection after TPK.
methodsA 10-year retrospective study of medically-uncontrolled infectious keratitis with positive culture results, who received TPK at a tertiary referral center in Korea was performed. Data collection included patient demographics, medical history, pre- and post-operative findings, surgical procedures, causative microorganisms, and visual acuities (VA). The primary outcome measure was the recurrence of infection after TPK, and the factors were compared between patients with and without recurrence.
resultsA total of 19 patients (19 eyes) were analyzed, of which 6 eyes (31.6%) had infection recurrence at 21.6 ± 22.84 months after TPK. Recurrence occurred more frequently in the female sex (vs. male,
conclusionInfection recurrence after TPK was 31.6%. Given the poor outcome of TPK in eyes with recurrence, close monitoring and intensive treatment are required post-TPK.
