Choroidal neovascularization following photorefractive keratectomy.
Article in Journal of current ophthalmology, 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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 describe a case of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) following photorefractive keratectomy (PRK) to correct myopia.
methodsWe performed PRK in both eyes of a 20-year-old girl to correct myopia. Refractive error was -4.75 -2.25 × 5 in the right eye and -5.00 -1.25 × 180 in the left eye. Metamorphopsia was noticed by the patient in the right eye one month after the surgical procedure. The patient was referred 3 months later when visual loss happened.
resultsFluorescein angiography and Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) were performed which were compatible with CNV. After three monthly intravitreal bevacizumab injections, sub-retinal hemorrhage and intraretinal fluid resolved, but subretinal scar remained without any visual acuity improvement.
conclusionsIt seems that CNV may occur after PRK in myopic eyes. Also, refractive surgeons should consider CNV development in cases with visual compliant or metamorphopsia following PRK.
