Clinical Evaluation of the Efficacy of Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundTo evaluate the clinical outcome, efficacy, and safety of femtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty. MATERIAL AND
methodsIn this prospective study, 21 males and 10 females aged from 15 to 62 years (mean 38.5) with different pathologies of the anterior corneal layers were enrolled for anterior lamellar keratoplasty using femtosecond laser VisuMax (Carl Zeiss, Germany). All patients were examined for uncorrected (UCVA) and best-corrected (BCVA) distance and near visual acuity, astigmatism, endothelial cell density, corneal thickness, and intraocular pressure. These examinations were performed before transplantation, at hospital discharge, and after 3 and 12 months. The mean follow-up time was 65.36 ± 28.54 months.
resultsA statistically significant improvement of both UCVA and BCVA for distance and near vision was registered. BCVA improved from 0.11 preoperatively to 0.168 (
conclusionsFemtosecond laser-assisted anterior lamellar keratoplasty is a safe and effective surgical method, providing satisfactory graft survival rates.
