Cultured Autologous Corneal Epithelia for the Treatment of Unilateral Limbal Stem Cell Deficiency: A Case Series of 15 Patients.

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
Damage to limbal epithelial stem cells can lead to limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Current autologous treatment procedures for unilateral LSCD bear a significant risk of inducing LSCD in the donor eye. This complication can be avoided by grafting a stem cell containing cultured autologous corneal epithelium (CACE). The primary objective of this study was to demonstrate the safety of CACE grafted on eyes with LSCD. The secondary objective was to assess the efficacy of a CACE graft in restoring a self-renewing corneal surface with adequate anatomic structures, as well as improving the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). Fifteen patients were grafted with a CACE on a fibrin gel produced from a 3 mm
