Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty for keratoconus: Elements for success.
Article in Saudi journal of ophthalmology : official journal of the Saudi Ophthalmological Society. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Advanced keratoconus may require keratoplasty when the patient can no longer achieve functional vision with glasses and contact lenses. Deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) has become the surgical treatment of choice due to its undisputed advantages over penetrating keratoplasty including the reduced risk of intraoperative complications, the absence of endothelial immune rejection, and the longer graft survival. Albeit "big-bubble" DALK still represents the most popular surgical method, several modifications have been developed over the years. This allowed standardization of the technique, with improved success rates and clinical outcomes. This review presents an overview on the literature on DALK surgery for keratoconus. We discuss state-of-the art surgical techniques, current evidence on the clinical outcomes and complications as well as possible future directions.
