Crystalline keratopathy following long-term netarsudil therapy.
Article in American journal of ophthalmology case reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Purpose: This case report highlights a possible association between netarsudil use and crystalline keratopathy. Observations: Presented here is the case of a 72-year-old woman with primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) who developed corneal crystalline keratopathy after taking netarsudil for 24 months. The patient's medical history was significant for dry eye syndrome, bilateral ptosis with surgical repair, and atopy (including asthma and various ocular and systemic allergies). The patient had previously undergone surgical repair for bilateral ptosis as well. During the interval between two routine visits, this patient experienced worsening vision with associated eye irritation. Further examination revealed crystal deposits on the anterior corneal surface in the left eye, the only eye undergoing netarsudil treatment. Conclusions and importance: Long-term netarsudil use may be associated with crystalline keratopathy in the anterior stroma, with the potential to cause sight-threatening vision loss if located in the visual axis.
