Development of interface haze after femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis with accelerated corneal crosslinking: a case series.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundFemtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (FS-LASIK) with accelerated corneal crosslinking (FS-LASIK Xtra) is a recent procedure to achieve safer corneal ablation in myopic patients with borderline corneal thickness. Despite its well-accepted effectiveness, the development of remarkable interface haze is a potential concern but has rarely been reported and discussed.
methodsWe report for the first time a case series of 11 eyes of 7 patients who developed typical interface haze 1-3 months after FS-LASIK Xtra for the correction of myopia with astigmatism, with intensity grades ranging from 0.5 + to 3 + at the time of onset.
resultsThe preclinical spherical diopters of the 7 patients ranged from - 2.25 D to - 9.25 D and cylindrical diopters ranged from - 0.25 D to - 2.50 D. The haze tended to be self-limiting, and topical anti-inflammatory therapy was given to moderate and severe cases, who responded well to treatment.
conclusionsThe development of clinically significant interface haze is a relatively rare complication after FS-LASIK Xtra but tends to have a higher incidence and intensity compared to conventional stromal surgery such as FS-LASIK. Timely treatment and close follow-up are essential to patients undertaking FS-LASIK Xtra.
