Iatrogenic Descemet membrane detachment in the donor lenticule during Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A female patient in her 60s presented with an 8-month history of decreased vision in her right eye. She was diagnosed with pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (PBK), and Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) surgery was planned. Intraoperative Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) occurred while inserting the lenticule using the Sheets glide technique. The detachment of the Descemet membrane was detected immediately, and air descemetopexy was performed intraoperatively. Postoperatively, the donor lenticule was attached properly to the stromal bed, except for a focal DMD approximately 3 mm in the inferior part of the lenticule. A second descemetopexy was performed 5 days later, resulting in a complete attachment. A DMD in DSAEK lenticule is an extremely rare complication. Early detection and timely intervention with descemetopexy helped achieve a good anatomical and functional outcome.
