Long-Term Clinical Outcomes of Small-Incision Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Intracorneal Concave Lenticule Implantation in Patients with Keratoconus.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the long-term prognosis of small-incision femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal concave lenticule implantation (SFII) in correction of human keratoconus. Methods: This was a prospective study for 11 patients who received SFII after being diagnosed as progressive keratoconus based on the Amsler-Krumeich classification system. Clinical assessment was performed for all the patients prior to and postsurgically at different time points for 5 years. These included uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA), biomechanically corrected intraocular pressure (bIOP), corneal topography, anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT), confocal microscopy, and biomechanical assessment with Corvis ST. Results: Comparison of preoperative and 60-month postoperative UDVA and CDVA ( Conclusion: SFII is an effective procedure to prevent the progression of keratoconus due to its minimal invasiveness and capability of maintaining a steady biometry of the cornea.
