A Retrospective Study of Herpetic Keratitis in Patients with Keratoconus after Crosslinking Surgery.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
backgroundThe aim of this study was to perform a retrospective analysis of patients who underwent cross-linking for keratoconus, in the Department of Ophthalmology of the Medical University of Silesia in Katowice, between 2011 and 2020, regarding the occurrence of herpetic keratitis after the procedure.
methodsWe analyzed the medical history of 543 patients who underwent cross-linking surgery.
resultsIn the analyzed group, there were nine cases of herpetic keratitis (six men and three women), aged from 16 to 40 years (mean 26.2 years). The mean follow-up period was 49.3 months (16-82 months). The average time from surgery to the manifestation of the first symptoms of keratitis was 4.3 days (2-6 days). In two cases, iritis was observed, and in one of them, iritis was the first symptom. After systemic and topical administration of acyclovir, ulceration healed in all patients. Corneal healing time ranged from 10 days to 3 weeks (average 13.7 days). In one patient, a recurrence of the inflammation was observed after 8 months.
conclusionPatients should be carefully observed in the early post-CXL period. Herpetic keratitis could be induced by CXL even in patients with no history of herpetic disease.
