Iridoschisis in patients with atopic dermatitis leads to intractable bullous keratopathy.
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
backgroundTo report iridoschisis in patients with atopic dermatitis and the outcome of repeat corneal transplantations for intractable bullous keratopathy. CASE PRESENTATION: Three patients with atopic dermatitis, iridoschisis and bullous keratopathy, underwent numerous corneal transplantation procedures including penetrating keratoplasty (PKP), and endothelial keratoplasty (EK), which failed within a short period due to rapid corneal endothelial cell (CEnC) loss without graft rejection. Aqueous humor total protein levels were overwhelmingly higher in all patients. Case 1: A 26-year-old man with atopic dermatitis had iridoschisis and bullous keratopathy in the left eye. During the 10-year follow-up, he underwent seven corneal transplantations (four EK, and three PKP). However, all grafts failed because of rapid CEnC loss without graft rejection. Case 2: A 53-year-old man with severe atopic dermatitis had iridoschisis and bullous keratopathy in the right eye. He underwent three corneal transplantations (one EK, followed by two PKP) over five years. All grafts failed within short periods due to rapid CEnC loss and endothelial decompensation without graft rejection. Case 3: A 54-year-old man with severe atopic dermatitis had iridoschisis and bullous keratopathy in the right eye. He underwent three EK within short periods due to rapid CEnC loss.
conclusionsWe hereby report the association of iridoschisis with bullous keratopathy in atopic dermatitis for the first time in the literature. Clinicians should be aware that the prognosis of corneal transplants in such patients appears to be poor necessitating repeat procedures.
