Surgery for Symblepharon Developed Due to Stevens-Johnson Syndrome: Modified Ring Procedure Performed Through Amniotic Membrane Transplantation and a 6 French Aspiration Catheter.
Article 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
Aim: This case presentation aims to present the use of amniotic membrane transplantation and the modified ring procedure performed through a 6 French aspiration catheter in the surgical treatment of a patient who developed symblepharon following SJS. Methods: The clinical file and histopathology slides of this patient who underwent surgery due to semblaferon developed after Steven-Johnson syndrome in the left eye were examined.Results: A modified ring procedure performed with AMT and a French aspiration catheter was used in the surgical treatment of a patient with semblaferon who developed Stevens-Johnson syndrome in the left eye. Postoperatively, no significant sequelae were observed, and the patient showed a marked reduction in complaints. One month after treatment, the sembraferon ring was removed, and it was observed that the sembraferon did not recur.Discussion: SJS and TEN are rare but severe mucocutaneous reactions, most commonly triggered by medications. In the acute phase, the focus on managing systemic symptoms often leads to the neglect of ophthalmic complications, which may result in permanent ocular sequelae in the later stages. The findings underscore the critical importance of early diagnosis and treatment in preserving the ocular surface and preventing scar formation. However, when advanced complications such as symblepharon occur, surgical and supportive interventions-such as mucosal grafts, scleral lenses, amniotic membrane transplantation, and the use of symblepharon rings-may become necessary. Conclusions: This case report demonstrates the effectiveness of the modified ring procedure using a 6 French aspiration tube and AMT in the surgical treatment of patients who developed symblepharon following SJS/TEN.The surgical technique was modeled after Kara's technique. All stages of the surgery were planned and performed by Dr. Ayça Küpeli Çınar.
