Fungal keratitis after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE): a case report and review of the literature.
Article in Journal of ophthalmic inflammation and infection, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
purposeTo report a case of perforated fungal keratitis after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) treated with penetrating keratoplasty (PKP).
methodsCase report and literature review.
resultsA 41-year-old woman presented with culture-proven unilateral fungal keratitis 4 days after uneventful SMILE. Her visual acuity was hand motion. The patient was treated with voriconazole irrigation (50 μm/0.1 ml) of the pocket and intrastromal voriconazole injection, in addition to systemic and topical antifungals. Despite aggressive management and decreased infiltration, the cornea was perforated and subsequently treated with PKP.
conclusionsInfectious keratitis after SMILE is unusual. To our knowledge, this is the first report of perforated fungal keratitis post-SMILE. PKP eradicated the infection.
