Modified Supportive Simple Limbal Epithelial Transplantation (M-SLET): A surgical technique modified for limbal stem cell deficiency.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
This study aimed to develop and modify the surgical technique of simple limbal epithelial transplantation in patients with limbal stem cell deficiency to provide support to epithelial explants during the post-operative period. This is a case series of five eyes of five patients who underwent modified supportive simple limbal epithelial transplantation (M-SLET) surgery. The health and stability of the ocular surface were assessed based on clinical slit lamp examination; they were the main outcome measures. All patients had a stable ocular surface and healed epithelium during all the follow-up visits. The M-SLET technique provides additional support to limbal epithelial explants, adhering to the cornea, thus creating a stable epithelial surface. This is particularly important when there is a risk of explants being dislodged by eye rubbing.
