Keratoconus with two consecutive re-emergences: a case report.
Article in BMC ophthalmology, 2025. 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
backgroundKeratoconus is a common disease in clinical practice, and deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty(DALK) is a conventional treatment for keratoconus, which is effective and not easy to recur after surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: The author presents a rare case report involving a 21-year-old patient with Consecutive re-emergences of Keratoconus. He underwent DALK for keratoconus in his left eye in 2012 and experienced re-emergence 3 years later, followed by a second deep lamellar keratoplasty in the same year. In 2019, the patient experienced re-emergence of keratoconus and underwent a third deep lamellar keratoplasty in the same eye. Genetic testing was performed, and no abnormal genes were identified. Postoperative follow-up emphasized the management of chronic allergic conjunctivitis (CAC) and the correction of eye-rubbing habits. To date, he has not experienced any further re-emergence.
conclusionsKeratoconus is a complex disorder with a multifaceted etiology and pathogenesis, including genetic, environmental, biomechanical, and cellular factors. Its treatment usually requires multiple considerations, including the choice of surgical methods, anti-inflammatory therapy, and correction of eye rubbing habits to guide patients for subsequent treatment interventions.
