Multivariate relationships between graft detachment after DMEK and twelve pre/perioperative factors.

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
This study aimed to identify pre/perioperative risk factors for graft detachment after Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). Hierarchical multivariate analysis was conducted on consecutive adults with Fuchs endothelial corneal dystrophy or pseudophakic bullous keratopathy who underwent pseudophakic- or triple-DMEK in 2014-2022 and were followed for 3 months. Significant graft detachment was defined as exceeding 20% of the graft or affecting the graft center. Twelve pre/perioperative factors were included. Of the 170 eyes (125 patients, median age 73 years, 65% women), 15% displayed significant graft detachment. Significant graft detachment was predicted by use of air rather than sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) for endotamponade (Odds Ratio [OR] = 0.20, 95% confidence intervals [95%CIs] = 0.05-0.91, p = 0.04) and patient age above 72.5 years (OR = 2.84, 95%CIs = 1.02-7.88, p = 0.046). Thus, SF6 use reduces DMEK-graft detachment. Whether older patients demonstrate more graft detachment because they have difficulty remaining supine after surgery or have inherent age-related corneal fragilities that hamper graft take remains to be determined.
