Microbial Keratitis following Self-Retained Cryopreserved Amniotic Membrane.
Article in Case reports in ophthalmology. 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
The aim of this study was to report a severe case of mixed fungal and bacterial microbial keratitis following implantation of a self-retained cryopreserved amniotic membrane, PROKERA® SLIM (Bio-Tissue, Inc) in a patient with history of neurotrophic ulcer secondary to herpetic epithelial keratitis. Despite maximally tolerated topical and systemic therapy, the patient's eye continued to deteriorate and eventually required evisceration. PROKERA implantation might be associated with severe recalcitrant microbial keratitis. Caution is urged when considering implantation especially in monocular patients.
