Delayed spontaneous resolution of a double anterior chamber following deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK).
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study reports a rare case of delayed spontaneous resolution of double anterior chambers (AC) resulting from non-rhegmatogenous Descemet membrane detachment (DMD) after deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK). Currently, management guidelines for this condition have not been established. CASE PRESENTATION: A 65-year-old woman with lattice corneal dystrophy underwent uncomplicated DALK, during which an unrecognized type 2 big bubble was present. On postoperative day 1, a total DMD was observed, and descemetopexy was attempted. After an unsuccessful air-filled descemetopexy, we opted for observation without further intervention. Spontaneous reattachment of Descemet membrane with a clear cornea was achieved at 3 months postoperatively. The endothelial cell count was 2,165 cells/ mm
conclusionsThe spontaneous resolution of double AC in patients with DMD without visible perforation after DALK suggests that a "wait and observe" approach can be a reasonable and effective management strategy.
