Allogenic Corneal Iris Segment Implantation for Repair of Large Iris Defect: The Antep Procedure.

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
Purpose: To describe a novel technique for repairing large iris defects using an allogenic corneal iris segment (ACIS), referred to as the Antep procedure, and to present its application in two challenging clinical cases. Methods: Two cases with significant iris loss and photic symptoms underwent ACIS implantation. The ACIS was shaped into a crescent-shaped segment specifically designed to cover the iris defect and stained with trypan blue. It was then positioned in the anterior chamber and secured with three-point fixation at the nasal and temporal positions to the residual iris and superiorly to the sclera. Results: In both patients, ACIS implantation provided effective anatomical reconstruction of the iris defect and led to meaningful functional improvement, particularly in photic symptoms. The segments remained well positioned throughout follow-up, and no intraoperative or postoperative complications were observed. Conclusions: The Antep procedure offers a biologically integrated, low-cost, and technically feasible option for reconstruction of large iris defects. Further studies with longer follow-up are warranted to evaluate long-term outcomes and broader applicability.
