Surgical technique for the management of corneal perforation in brittle cornea.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Brittle cornea syndrome is among the few special scenarios in ophthalmology that are a nightmare not only for the operating surgeon but also for the patient. Here, the thin and fragile corneas are unable to maintain the shape and structural integrity of the globe and are more prone to minor traumatic or spontaneous corneal perforations. Suturing a brittle cornea and closure of the corneal perforation in a brittle cornea are very challenging requiring the utmost care and special precautions. If proper measures are not taken during the surgery, it may be difficult to salvage the eye. Hence, it is imperative to diagnose appropriately, suture effectively, taking necessary preventive measures in salvaging these corneas. This manuscript aims at providing tips for handling brittle corneal perforations. It will also discuss the problems encountered during surgery, highlight the suturing techniques that can be customized, and finally give an insight into postoperative care.
