Assessment of tomographic parameters and detection of subclinical edema in Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy pre-cataract surgery.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 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
aimTo assess tomographic changes and subclinical edema detection in Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy (FECD) through Scheimpflug tomography in a group of phakic patients contemplating cataract surgery.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted on 30 phakic eyes from patients diagnosed with FECD but without clinical edema, and 59 phakic eyes from a control group without corneal alterations. Comprehensive ophthalmic examinations were conducted, including slit-lamp biomicroscopy, corneal specular microscopy (CSM), and Scheimpflug tomography.
resultsThe study encompassed 30 phakic eyes with FECD (mean age 59.8±13.1y) and 59 control eyes (mean age 61.3±7.7y). The best-corrected visual acuity was higher in the control group compared to the FECD group [0 (0, 0.08)
conclusionScheimpflug tomography allows for an objective assessment of FECD, offering the capability to detect subclinical edema at an early stage, monitor disease progression, and serve as a predictor of corneal decompensation following cataract surgery.
