Corneal transplant survival rate in glaucoma patients with multiple previous antiglaucoma surgeries.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundGlaucoma can cause corneal decompensation and accelerate the failure of the graft. Previous antiglaucoma operations are one of the most important risk factors for endothelial failure.
methodsIn this retrospective study, 40 eyes of 40 glaucoma patients with advanced corneal decompensation after glaucoma surgery were treated with keratoplasty and outcomes were assessed for 24 months.
results16, 9 and 15 eyes underwent Descemet Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK), Descemet's Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) and penetrating keratoplasty (pKPL), respectively. Visual acuity improved at least 2 lines in 24 of 40 eyes after the three types of keratoplasty. All 40 eyes remained pain free for the follow-up period. The mean intraocular pressure (IOP) difference was not significantly different (p > 0.05) from the preoperative values 12 and 24 months after keratoplasty. The endothelial cell density of the donor cornea decreased from 2485.6 ± 165.18 to 1291.4 ± 467.1 and 1180.4 ± 397.2/mm
conclusionsEyes with previous glaucoma surgery show satisfying results after keratoplasty, mainly DMEK and pKPL.
