Ocular emergencies visits after corneal transplantation at a tertiary eye care hospital in Saudi Arabia.

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
purposeTo evaluate the characteristics of patients with post-keratoplasty complications and their presentation at an emergency center.
designRetrospective one-armed cohort study.
methodsData were evaluated on patients who underwent corneal grafts in 2019 and presented to an emergency unit. Data were collected on patient demographics, presenting symptoms, clinical details, diagnosis at emergency visit, final diagnosis, best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) at presentation and at the last follow-up after management. Severe visual impairment (SVI) and graft rejection were tested for correlations to other factors.
resultsThe study sample was comprised of 149 eyes of 124 patients with a mean age of 27.5 years. Keratoconus was the indication for keratoplasty in 94 (75.8%) patients. The main presenting symptoms were pain 57 (38.3%) and red eye in 52 (34.9%) patients. The median interval between emergency visit and keratoplasty was 1.6 years. There were 63 (42.3%) patients who had emergency visits due to suture-related problems. The rates of SVI and graft rejection at the time of discharge after managing emergencies in eyes with previous keratoplasty were 14.1% (95% CI 8.5; 19.7) and 13.4 (95% CI 7.9; 18.9), respectively. Keratoconus (OR = 22.8) and young age (P < 0.001) were negatively associated with SVI after management.
conclusionPatients with keratoplasty are at high risk for severe vision loss and should be counseled to seek urgent eye care for early detection and management of sight-threatening complications to improve graft survival and vision.
