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: To report an alternative technique to implant the EndoArt using a pull-through insertion. This technique is helpful in complex eyes, especially in eyes with unstable iris lens diaphragm. Observation: We present a case of advanced pseudophakic bullous keratopathy with aniridia, previous vitrectomy, and tube implants in which the initial attempt to implant the EndoArt failed, and the device was lost to the vitreous cavity. An alternative surgical technique, a pull-through insertion, was used to implant a second device successfully. The patient was followed over a period of 1 year. Corneal edema gradually improved over time, and all epithelial bullae resolved. The central corneal thickness (CCT) decreased from 911um to 691 μm. Conclusion and Importance: EndoArt is a treatment for endothelial failure in complex eyes. In addition, the pull-through insertion technique can help improve control over the implant in very complicated eyes.
