Advancements in bioengineering for descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK).
Review in NPJ Regenerative medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Corneal diseases are the third leading cause of blindness worldwide. Descemet's Membrane Endothelial Keratoplasty (DMEK) is the preferred surgical technique for treating corneal endothelial disorders, relying heavily on high-quality donor tissue. However, the scarcity of suitable donor tissue and the sensitivity of endothelial cells remain significant challenges. This review explores the current state of DMEK, focusing on advancements in tissue engineering as a promising solution to improve outcomes and address donor limitations.
