Corneal melting following intrastromal injection of bevacizumab for corneal neovascularization.

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
The aim is to report corneal melting following intrastromal injection of antivascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF), bevacizumab, for pre-existing corneal neovascularization. A 68-year-old male with a history of failed bilateral penetrating keratoplasties due to scarring from childhood measles and trachoma underwent right eye superficial keratectomy, intrastromal bevacizumab, and amniotic membrane transplant to control the neovascularization in an overseas center. A week later developed corneal melting. In conclusion, anti-VEGF can be used in controlling corneal neovascularization, albeit, is associated with risks such as delayed epithelial healing and corneal melting, particularly in those with limbal stem cell deficiency.
