Treatment of corneal dermoid with lenticules from small incision lenticule extraction surgery: a surgery assisted by fibrin glue.
Article in International journal of ophthalmology, 2023. 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
aimTo observe the clinical efficacy of the combined use of small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE)-derived lenticule patches in corneal dermoid excision, with fixation of the lenticule patches assisted by fibrin glue.
methodsSeventeen eyes of 17 patients with corneal dermoid were treated with dermoid removal combined with SMILE-derived lenticule transplantation. All lenticule patches were fixed by fibrin glue. Ocular changes were assessed using slit lamp microscopy and anterior-segmental optical coherence tomography. The best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and ocular dioptric variations were examined preoperatively and postoperatively. Intraocular pressure (IOP) was also monitored in all visited time.
resultsTotally, 18 lenticule patches were used on 17 eyes of 17 cornea dermoid patients. The mean follow-up time was 11.47±5.28mo. All lenticule patches were successfully glued, kept on its location and maintained transparent during the follow-up time, with a consecutive epithelial cover for 1wk. Nine of the patients could coordinate visual and optometry exam well. Their preoperative BCVA is 0.60±0.35 in decimal, significantly improved to 0.80±0.26 in decimal at 6mo postoperatively (
conclusionDermoid excision combined with transplantation of SMILE-derived lenticule patches using fibrin glue is a safe and effective novel tectonic keratoplasty procedure for corneal dermoid.
