Unusual ectasia following corneal cross-linking in a patient with keratoconus.
Review in Romanian journal of ophthalmology. 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
Objective: Description of an unusual ectasia following corneal cross-linking (CXL) in a patient with keratoconus. Methods: Clinical case report and review of the literature. Results: We present a case of an unusual ectasia after corneal CXL in a patient with keratoconus. Discussion: This case reports the first known occurrence of corneal ectasia following epi-off CXL, a procedure typically used to halt the progression of ectatic disorders such as keratoconus. Although the standard protocol was followed, subtle technical variations or postoperative healing factors could have contributed to the outcome. Conclusions: This case underscores the need for ongoing vigilance in patient selection and follow-up in the context of CXL. The rare development of corneal ectasia post-CXL highlights a gap in our understanding of corneal biomechanics and the potential limitations of current diagnostic tools. More research is needed to refine patient screening methods and optimize treatment protocols to ensure the efficacy and safety of this widely used procedure.
