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
Introduction: Complex corneal conditions present surgical challenges and necessitate innovation. Here, we present two cases where we performed intraocular lens trans-scleral fixation using the double-needle Yamane technique, followed by penetrating keratoplasty and vitrectomy using a temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis. Case Presentation: Case 1 involved a 70-year-old man with an aphakic eye of bullous keratopathy and corneal opacity owing to multiple penetrating and endothelial keratoplasty, endophthalmitis, and herpetic keratitis. His visual acuity was counting fingers at 20 cm before surgery. Penetrating keratoplasty with vitrectomy and intraocular lens scleral fixation was performed using the double-needle Yamane technique, and 10 months postoperatively, his best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.6, presenting a clear cornea. Case 2 involved a 62-year-old man who underwent penetrating keratoplasty twice for corneal perforation and therapeutic penetrating keratoplasty with vitrectomy for traumatic globe rupture, resulting in the loss of the intraocular lens. The patient exhibited graft failure, and his best-corrected visual acuity was 0.03. Utilizing a temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis, we performed penetrating keratoplasty and intraocular lens trans-scleral fixation without complications. His final best-corrected visual acuity improved to 0.15 with a clear cornea. Conclusions: Trans-scleral fixation of intraocular lens with penetrating keratoplasty, using temporary Landers wide-field keratoprosthesis, yielded positive clinical outcomes without serious complications.
