Update of Research Progress on Small Incision Lenticule Extraction (SMILE) Lenticule Reuse.
Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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 SMILE lenticule is a complete corneal stroma that is removed from SMILE surgery. Since the increasing number of SMILE surgeries, a large number of SMILE lenticules have been produced, so the reuse and preservation of the stromal lens has become a research hotspot. Due to the rapid development of the preservation and clinical reuse of SMILE lenticules, there have been many related studies in recent years, so we updated it on this basis. We searched PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Elsevier Science, CNKI, WANFANG Data and other databases for all articles published on the preservation and clinical reuse of SMILE lenticules, screened useful articles, selected relevant articles published in the last five years as the main body for summary, and then reached a conclusion. The existing preservation methods of SMILE lenticule include Moist chamber storage at low temperature, cryopreservation technique dehydrating agent and corneal storage medium, which have their own advantages and disadvantages. Presently, smile lenticules can be used for the treatment of corneal ulcers and perforations, corneal tissue defects, hyperopia, presbyopia and keratectasia, which have been proven to be relatively effective and safe. More research on smile lenticule reuse needs to be carried out to confirm its long-term efficacy.
