1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: Iridocorneal endothelial (ICE) syndrome is a progressive anterior segment disorder that can be tricky to treat. Keratoplasty is commonly used to treat corneal edema in ICE syndrome. However, glaucoma is an important risk factor affecting graft survival. To address this question, we designed a retrospective cohort study to evaluate the effect of Spokewise Iridotomy (SI) on Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (DSAEK) Grafts in Iridocorneal Endothelial (ICE) Syndrome. Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study. A total of 29 patients were included; 31 eyes with ICE syndrome underwent DSAEK at Peking University Third Hospital between June 2015 and June 2022, including 11 eyes with combined SI during DSAEK. The aim was to explore the effect of SI on vision, glaucoma control, complications, peripheral anterior synechiae recurrence, endothelial cell count, and graft survival. Results: The median follow-up time was 30.83 months (mo.) in the SI+Endothelial Keratoplasty (EK) group and 6.17 mo in the EK group. The 2-year cumulative survival rate of grafts in the SI+EK group was 100%, compared with the 6-month and 1-year cumulative survival rates of 80.2 and 63.2%, respectively, in the EK group ( Conclusion: SI can help control intraocular pressure, improve visual acuity, and increase graft survival after DSAEK in ICE syndrome patients.
