Endothelium sparing - Air-assisted wedge resection for the treatment of pellucid marginal degeneration.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2024. 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
To describe the surgical technique of performing a wedge resection of a 1 mm area of inferior corneal stroma using stromal air injection assisted separation sparring the endothelium in a patient with bilateral Pellucid Marginal Degeneration. 68-year-old male Caucasian advanced, non progressive. A 30G needle on a 1 ml air-filled syringe injects air into the stromal lamellae with the bevel up, leading to stromal emphysema. An MVR blade is used to incise the marked area until clear corneal tissue is seen. The incised areas are separated with a lamellar dissector, and the crescentic area is excised. The lips of the wound are approximated with 10-0 Prolene sutures. This surgical approach leads to adequate management of the Pellucid Marginal Degeneration without injury to the endothelium, ensuring reduced antigenic input and maintenance of the architectural integrity of the eye.
