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

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic caused restricted eye retrieval leading to acute scarcity of donor corneas. Nine patients with perforated corneas needed urgent donor tissues where we used 10 cryopreserved corneal tissues for therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty (TPK). Repeat TPK was done in one eye for recurrence of infection. The anatomical integrity of the eyeball was maintained in seven eyes, while two eyes were lost to phthisis. Thus, cryopreserved corneas can be taken into consideration for TPK when other donor tissues are not available.
