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
To present the challenging scenario of a 13-year-old patient in the ICU with bilateral corneal perforations secondary to EK, who underwent immediate sequential bilateral penetrating keratoplasty. Furthermore, we explore the treatment outcomes of this approach. A 13-year-old boy presented with decreased vision in both eyes. Upon ophthalmic examination, we identified bilateral perforated corneal ulcers with iris prolapse and a flat anterior chamber (AC). Due to the bilateral corneal perforations and the heightened risk of infectious endophthalmitis, immediate bilateral sequential penetrating keratoplasty (PKP) was carried out for the patient the day after presentation to our emergency room (ER). Over the 6-month follow-up period, no signs of graft rejection or infection were observed. This is the first reported case of immediate sequential bilateral PK. In emergent situations like bilateral corneal perforation, sequential bilateral surgery proves to be a reasonable and effective option.
