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
Our study aims to investigate a simple repair algorithm for Descemet's membrane detachment (DMD) following phacoemulsification with Pentacam and anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT). Twelve patients with DMD were included in this retrospective study. All cases had persistent corneal edema after phacoemulsification and no improved response to conservative treatment. The repair algorithm consisted of delineating the DMD with the Pentacam and AS-OCT, paracentesis, and intracameral air bubble performed at the slit lamp, followed by immediate supine position. At one month, the final status of Descemet's membrane (DM), best-corrected visual acuity, and incidence of complications were noted. DMD was involved in the visual axis in all cases. The mean interval between phacoemulsification and repair was 5.3 ± 1.2 days. Complete reattachment of DM and corneal clarity occurred in all 12 eyes. Eleven (91.7%) eyes underwent one repair procedure, while one eye (8.3%) underwent a repeat procedure. No adverse events were found. Minor post-intervention complications included temporary increased intraocular pressure due to pupillary block in one eye (8.3%). In conclusion, our modified and simplified repair algorithm for DMD can be performed safely as an outpatient procedure, with accurate delineation using a Pentacam and AS-OCT. It may provide new insight into the timely diagnosis, evaluation, and management of DMD.
