Mi-OCT assisted endothelial keratoplasty in buphthalmic eyes- 2 year outcomes.
Article in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveTo describe long-term outcomes of posterior lamellar [Descemet stripping automated endothelial keratoplasty (DSAEK) and non-Descemet stripping (n-DSAEK)] and the role of microscope-integrated optical coherence tomography (Mi-OCT) in buphthalmic eyes.
designRetrospective study.
methodsThe medical records of all patients who were diagnosed with buphthalmos and underwent Mi-OCT-guided standard DSAEK/n-DSAEK since 2015 were evaluated. Intraoperative difficulties, graft survival, and complications were recorded.
resultsA total of 16 eyes of 16 patients (10 males; 6 females) with a mean age of 9.96 + 6.54 years and a mean follow-up of 24.46 + 7.76 months were evaluated. The mean preoperative acuity was 2.03 + 0.39 log MAR, and the mean corneal diameter was 12.89 + 1.0 mm with a corneal thickness of 874.53 + 105 microns. Ten eyes had a clear lens, two had cataracts, three were aphakic, and one was pseudophakic. Descemet membrane scoring was performed in 10 eyes. The mean donor graft size was 9.14 ± 0.30 mm with a lenticule thickness of 135.9 + 44.54 microns. Intraoperatively, all the grafts were attached on Mi-OCT. The final mean acuity was 1.72 + 0.4 log MAR, and the corneal thickness was 596.18 + 89.12. Graft detachment was seen in the immediate postoperative period in 4 eyes that required rebubbling. Two eyes showed pupillary block that was conservatively managed. Following DSAEK, the cornea cleared at 1 month in 81.25% of eyes. One graft failed at the final follow-up. The mean endothelial loss at final follow-up was 29.1%.
conclusionPrimary DSAEK is a preferred surgical technique for buphthalmic eyes with compromised corneas. Mi-OCT could be useful in these eyes for various intraoperative maneuvers and to assess graft status thereby improving the outcomes of the procedure.
