Immune-Related Peripheral Keratopathy in Post-COVID-19 Syndrome.
Article in International medical case reports journal, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Post-COVID-19 Syndrome, marked by systemic immune dysregulation, has been linked to various ocular manifestations, including conjunctivitis, anterior uveitis, and vitritis. Emerging evidence highlights the role of inflammatory mediators, cytokines, and abnormal immune cell activation in post-viral complications, which may contribute to corneal damage. This case report describes immune-related peripheral keratopathy in a patient with Post-COVID-19 Syndrome, emphasizing that it may influence the ocular surface immune microenvironment. Case Presentation: We describe a woman in her 30s who has a history of mild dry eye disease. After her third COVID-19 infection, she experienced eye redness, dryness, and a foreign body sensation. Ophthalmic examination revealed a corneal ulcer at the limbal region in both eyes. Treatment with topical antibiotics, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory agents, and lubricating eye drops, led to substantial improvement and complete healing within two months. Conclusion: Systemic immune dysregulation following COVID-19 infection may alter the ocular surface immune microenvironment, thereby predisposing patients to ocular surface complications.
