"Partial Open Sky Method" - A novel technique to avoid the open sky condition during Triple procedure or Penetrating keratoplasty.
Article in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. 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
Penetrating keratoplasty is referred to as an "open-sky" procedure because the intraocular contents are entirely exposed to atmospheric pressure after the diseased cornea has been trephined off and before the donor button is sutured. Suprachoroidal hemorrhage (SCH) is a major vision-threatening complication, associated with this open-sky procedure. While numerous factors may predispose an eye to SCH, like hypertension, myopia, trauma, glaucoma, etc., it is better to be prepared for the worst eventuality. We described a novel technical modification, denoted as the "partial open sky technique", that we used during the surgical steps of trephining and excision of host corneal tissue in seven cases of triple procedure and penetrating keratoplasty in our center over two months. We propose that the technique would be additionally helpful in managing the inadvertent suprachoroidal hemorrhage associated with keratoplasty over the available existing methods.
