1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose: To describe a case of bilateral interface fluid formation 2 years after laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery caused by the side effect of amantadine. Observations: A 47-year-old male patient with a history of Parkinson's disease treated with amantadine who had uneventful LASIK surgery in both eyes 2 years ago, presented with a decline in vision over the past 6 weeks. Results: Best corrected vision was 20/200 and 20/400 in the right and left eye respectively. Intraocular pressures were measured within the normal range. Biomicroscopic exam showed bilateral corneal edema. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography (AS-OCT) revealed fluid accumulation within the LASIK flap interface in both corneas. The patient's corneal edema and fluid in the interface began to gradually resolve, and vision improved 2 weeks after discontinuing amantadine. Conclusions and Importance: Although there is no previous report, it is possible that amantadine may cause interface fluid formation in patients with LASIK surgery.
