A historical view of the development of corneal transplantation: from penetrating keratoplasty to selective transplantation of the finest corneal layers.
Review in Wiener medizinische Wochenschrift (1946), 2025. 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
Replacement of damaged corneal tissue with a clear transplant represents a viable solution for restoring vision in patients with corneal blindness. Among organ transplants, corneal transplantation occupies a unique status due to the cornea's lack of vascularization. This avascular nature makes immune compatibility testing between donor and recipient unnecessary and reduces the risk of transplant rejection, making corneal transplantation the most successful organ transplant procedure worldwide. Over the past century, corneal transplantation has undergone a transformative journey, evolving from full-thickness keratoplasty to highly refined techniques that selectively target individual diseased corneal layers. These modern lamellar approaches aim for faster recovery times and reduced rejection rates. The global demand for corneal graft tissue far exceeds the availability of donor tissue, leading to prolonged waiting times for patients in need of transplantation. Modern therapeutic strategies are expected to support or potentially even replace transplantation of corneal layers in the future.
