Novel technique of fixing intracorneal rings segments after migration.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
A 38-year-old patient with a history of non-progressive keratoconus in the left eye presented to us with an uncorrected visual acuity of 20/400, which improved to 20/60 with pinhole. We planned for intracorneal rings segment in the left eye. Postoperatively uncorrected visual acuity improved to 20/30. The patient presented 2 weeks later with severely decreased vision to 20/100 and migration of intracorneal rings were noted with both the rings riding side by side. The patient gave history of vigorous eye rubbing. The rings were repositioned with the help of Sinskey hooks and superior ring was anchored with 10-nylon suture passed through the ring hole to the corneal stroma. Two more sutures were placed radial to the circumference of inferior ring to prevent its migration. The sutures were removed after 1 month and the patient was followed up with stable position of the rings for the next 6 months . The uncorrected visual acuity improved to 20/40.
