Hemi-Ultrathin Descemet Stripping Automated Endothelial Keratoplasty (Hemi-UT-DSAEK) Using Pediatric Donor Corneas: A Case Series.
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 1 paper.
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
objectiveWe sought to evaluate the clinical outcomes of hemi-UT-DSAEK grafts from the pediatric donor corneas of patients affected by Fuchs Endothelial Corneal Dystrophy (FECD).
methodsA prospective, interventional case series was conducted at the Ophthalmology Department of Venice Civil Hospital and the Veneto Eye Bank Foundation (Venice, Italy). Six eyes of six patients affected by FECD received large-diameter, semicircular hemi-UT-DSAEK grafts obtained from three pediatric donor corneas using the standard pull-through method. Endothelial cell density (ECD), central corneal thickness (CCT), best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and intraoperative and postoperative complications were recorded at different time intervals up to 12 months.
resultsThe average donor age was 64.6 ± 8.6 years, and the pre-operative ECD was 3266 ± 225 cells/mm
conclusionsHemi-UT-DSAEK grafts using pediatric donor corneas are surgically feasible and can provide similar clinical outcomes compared to conventional UT-DSAEK. Transplanting pediatric donor tissues with high ECD into two patients could potentially increase the donor tissue pool to treat endothelial disease.
