Central corneal endothelial morphometry in emmetropic adults aged 20-40 years examined in Valencia, Spain: a retrospective cross-sectional analysis.

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
purposeTo provide a descriptive anatomical baseline for central corneal endothelial morphometry and examine cross-sectional associations with recorded sex and age in emmetropic adults examined in Valencia, Spain.
methodsThis retrospective cross-sectional secondary analysis included 202 de-identified records from adults aged 20-40 years. The historical research program operated from 2002 to 2012; exact participant-level examination dates were unavailable. Emmetropia required a spherical equivalent from -0.50 to +0.50 D, manifest sphere and cylinder within ±0.50 D, and best-corrected visual acuity of 20/20 or better. We obtained endothelial cell density (ECD), coefficient of variation of cell area (CV), percentage of hexagonal cells (%HEX), and mean cell area (MCA) using Topcon SP-2000P non-contact specular microscopy. We used Welch tests, Hedges' g, and false-discovery-rate correction for sex comparisons; age-adjusted models used HC3 robust standard errors with diagnostic and sensitivity analyses.
resultsThe sample comprised 106 men and 96 women. Overall values were ECD 2908.1 ± 277.5 cells/mm
conclusionThese device- and sample-specific data provide an anatomical comparator for future studies but are not formal clinical reference intervals or surgical thresholds.
