First report of uncommon mycobacteria in post LASIK keratitis: Mycobacterium wolinskyi.

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
Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) surgery is the leading and most performed refractive surgery nowadays. A possible complication of LASIK surgery is infectious keratitis which can lead to disastrous corneal damage and result in permanent loss of vision. LASIK procedures have become increasingly accessible, and the demand for refractive surgery has risen among patients, challenging the medical field to improve the prevention of post-operative infections. Nevertheless, a wide range of pathogens have been described as responsible for post-LASIK keratitis. However, non-tuberculous mycobacterial keratitis remains an infrequent occurrence and is poorly described in the literature. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first ever reported case of post-LASIK keratitis caused by Mycobacterium wolinskyi. We describe the clinical and microbial characteristics, leading to its challenging treatment choice.
