Expert Consensus on Ocular Safety During Laser Procedures: A Practical Guide to Eye Safety by a Panel of Dermatologist Laser Surgeons and Ophthalmologists.

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
objectivesThis study aims to provide laser surgeons with guidelines to minimize ocular risks during laser procedures near the eyes. Complications such as corneal burns, infection, dry eye, cataracts, and blindness underscore the need for comprehensive safety protocols, incorporating ocular anatomy, patient-specific factors, and proper use of protective equipment. MATERIALS AND
methodsA panel of Board-Certified Dermatologists and Ophthalmologists with subspecialties in corneal and oculoplastic surgery was convened to develop recommendations. The panel addressed preoperative evaluations, intraoperative safety measures, and postoperative care to optimize patient outcomes.
resultsPreoperative evaluations must include detailed medical and ocular histories, physical examinations, and screenings for contraindications like corneal disease or eyelid laxity. Eye shields, made of stainless steel and appropriately lubricated, are mandatory during laser procedures around the eye. Intraoperative monitoring ensures shield stability and patient comfort, with immediate cessation of the procedure if ocular pain or vision changes occur. Postoperative care includes sterile eye drops, follow-ups to monitor ocular health, and patient education on recognizing complications.
conclusionRigorous protocols for laser procedures near the eyes ensure patient safety and minimize complications. Adherence to these recommendations allows for safe and effective outcomes in periocular laser treatments.
