Comparing The Existing Myopic Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction (KLEx) Platforms: A Narrative Review.
Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Kerato-refractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) is an evolving technique in corneal refractive surgery. The objective of this narrative review is to compare laser settings, visual outcomes, and higher order aberrations (HOAs) across the five currently available myopic KLEx platforms, specifically SmartSight, corrective lenticule extraction for advanced refractive correction (CLEAR), smooth incision lenticular keratomileusis (SILK
