Bilateral post-LASIK exacerbation of granular corneal dystrophy with epithelial ingrowth.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
A male patient in his 30s, with a history of bilateral microkeratome-assisted myopic laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) 8 years ago at another centre, presented to us with gradually progressive diminution of vision and glare in both eyes for the last 4 years. On presentation, uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) was 6/24 and 6/15 in the right eye and left eye, respectively, with normal intraocular pressures. Slit-lamp examination and anterior segment optical coherence tomography revealed well-defined white deposits, limited to an area within the LASIK flap. The deposits were confluent, at the level of the LASIK flap interface, and few discrete opacities were present in the posterior stroma. His father also had a similar clinical picture in both eyes. A diagnosis of both eyes post-LASIK exacerbation of granular corneal dystrophy with epithelial ingrowth was made. He underwent right eye femtosecond laser-assisted sutureless superficial anterior lamellar keratoplasty. At 6-month follow-up, UDVA improved to 6/12 with graft clarity of 4+ and coexistent grade 1 epithelial ingrowth.
