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
Objective: To report the clinical findings and results of a patient who underwent deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty (DALK) combined with phacoemulsification. Methods: Retrospective analysis of a case that underwent unsuccessful DALK surgery with no visual gain due to striations on the posterior surface of the donor, permanent interface irregularity, and scarring. Results: Two years after the first DALK surgery, a repeated DALK was performed in combination with phacoemulsification of the cataract that developed during this period. The graft was clear with no signs of rejection or endothelial decompensation, and corrected distance visual acuity was 6/10 in the postoperative last visit, one year after the surgery. Conclusions: Combining the DALK technique with phacoemulsification in patients with coexisting cataracts may help to achieve a good visual outcome and long-term graft survival. Even after an unsuccessful DALK experience, insisting on preserving the patient's own endothelium resulted in successful vision restoration with no imposition of further risks for graft survival.
