1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To report a case of combined Descemet membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK) and secondary sulcus hydrophobic intraocular lens (IOL) implantation for hyperopic correction in a pseudophakic eye with Fuchs' endothelial corneal dystrophy. Observation: A 74-year-old woman with Fuchs' dystrophy and a history of phacoemulsification with a hydrophilic IOL in her left eye (refraction: +5.25 D/-1.00 D × 68°; best corrected visual acuity [BCVA]: 20/40) underwent a preparatory yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) iridotomy followed by implantation of a hydrophobic add-on +8 D IOL in the ciliary sulcus through a 2.4 mm incision. DMEK was performed using a 90 % fill of 10 % sulfur hexafluoride (SF Conclusion and importance: This case indicates that combining DMEK with secondary sulcus hydrophobic IOL implantation can effectively correct hyperopia in pseudophakic eyes with Fuchs' dystrophy.
