Efficacy of Lamellar Keratoplasty with Acellular Porcine Corneal Stroma in Treatment for Infectious Central and Peripheral Corneal Ulcers.

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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of acellular porcine corneal stroma (APCS) transplantation in the treatment of infectious central and peripheral corneal ulcers.
methodsA total of 45 patients with infectious corneal ulcers who had undergone lamellar keratoplasty using APCS grafts were included. Among these, 24 had lesions located near the pupil (infectious central corneal ulcer group) and 21 had lesions located in the limbus or around the cornea (infectious peripheral corneal ulcer group). Efficacy was assessed in terms of best-corrected visual acuity, graft transparency, corneal neovascularization, corneal reepithelialization, survival rate, and postoperative complications.
resultsBaseline characteristics showed that poor visual acuity and larger-diameter APCS graft in the infectious central corneal ulcer group were comparable with the infectious peripheral corneal ulcer grouper group (
conclusionAPCS transplantation is safe and efficacious for treating infectious central and peripheral corneal ulcers. Despite its good efficacy, APCS-graft size, implant position, patient indications, and postoperative management should be kept in mind in treatment for infectious corneal ulcers in different locations.
