Non-traumatic bilateral corneal flap dislocation 20 years after LASIK.
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
backgroudThis report describes a case of late non-traumatic dislocation of bilateral corneal flaps, occurring 20 years after LASIK surgery. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old woman underwent LASIK surgery on both eyes 20 years ago. She visited our clinic with sudden visual loss and denied any history of trauma. Eye examination revealed bilateral corneal flap dislocation. The right flap was hinged temporally and the left flap nasally. The left corneal flap showed tractional deformation, neovascularization, and proliferative membrane formation at the hinge area. Immediate corneal flap replacement surgery was performed on both eyes, and a bandage lens was applied. Six weeks after the surgery, Anterior Segment Optical Coherence Tomography (AS-OCT) showed that the corneal flap was centered, without displacement, and exhibited epithelial ingrowth. The uncorrected distance visual acuity was 20/40 OU.
conclusionThis extraordinary case underscores a remarkable occurrence of bilateral corneal flap displacement, attributed to non-traumatic factors. The potential association between dry eye conditions, not solely as a risk factor but also as a potential direct causative agent for flap dislocation.
