Placoid choroidopathy after bilateral uncomplicated descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty.

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 bilateral, sequential placoid choroidopathy following uncomplicated Descemet's membrane endothelial keratoplasty (DMEK). OBSERVATIONS: A 49-year old woman presented with flashing lights and central visual field scotomas after undergoing uncomplicated DMEK combined with cataract surgery for Fuch's endothelial dystrophy in the right eye. She was found to have placoid choroidopathy responsive to systemic steroids and for which a comprehensive work-up was unrevealing. Three and a half months later, she underwent DMEK surgery in the fellow eye and again developed placoid choroidopathy in the operated eye. Work-up was again unrevealing and the lesion followed a similar course to the first eye on systemic steroids. Over the course of seven (right eye) and three and a half months (left eye) of follow-up, the uncorrected visual acuity was 20/20 bilaterally and the retinal lesions had modestly improved. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: We report a case of placoid choroidopathy following uncomplicated DMEK combined with cataract surgery in both eyes of a single patient. This case expands upon the reported complications following DMEK surgery and suggests a need to remain aware of posterior segment complications following endothelial keratoplasty.
