Clinical characteristics and outcomes of keratoplasty in moderate to severe infective corneal ulcers.

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
backgroundCorneal ulcers are a major cause of visual impairment in developing countries. In Indonesia, severe infective ulcers often require keratoplasty (KP) to preserve ocular integrity and improve outcomes.
aimTo determine demographic, clinical and microbiological characteristics, complications, and KP outcomes in patients with moderate to severe infective corneal ulcers.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on patients with moderate to severe infective corneal ulcers who underwent KP between January 1, 2018 and December 31, 2020, with a minimum follow-up period of 3 weeks at the Ocular Infection and Immunology clinic of a tertiary referral hospital in Jakarta. Data were extracted from medical records.
resultsA total of 99 eyes from 99 patients with a mean age of 41.7 ± 16.2 years were included. Eight-nine eyes of corneal cases were located at the central cornea with > 6 mm lesion size (forty-one eyes). The culture positivity rate was 33%, primarily composed of
conclusionCorneal ulcers are a common problem in Indonesia following eye trauma. Therapeutic and tectonic KP can preserve the integrity of the eyeball in moderate to severe cases, although complications are common.
