Femtosecond laser-assisted intracorneal MyoRing explantation - A novel rescue technique.

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: We describe a case of a keratoconus patient with decreased uncorrected visual acuity after MyoRing implantation, where explantation was indicated. Observations: A 25-year-old male patient was referred to our institution for evaluation after being deemed unfit for service as a police officer for six months. He had received a MyoRing ring implant in his right eye due to keratoconus. Following the procedure, he experienced decreased uncorrected visual acuity, intolerance to contact lenses, and unsatisfactory visual acuity with glasses. Consequently, a femtosecond laser-assisted removal of the ring implant was performed. Conclusions and importance: We present a novel femtosecond laser-based "rescue" technique for the removal of continuous corneal ring implants that cannot be extracted via the original intrastromal pocket. The minimal-invasive FS-approach might also be useful for the explantation of other intracorneal implants (e.g. ICRS) or devices that cannot be removed via the original surgical approach.
