Progressive post-LASIK myopic retinoschisis: a rare complication and its management.
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
purposeTo report a case of rapid progression of myopic macular retinoschisis (MRS) following femtosecond laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and its anatomical outcome after pars plana vitrectomy (PPV). CASE DESCRIPTION: A 36-year-old woman with high myopia (right eye: 6/15, -14.75D; left eye: 6/12, -13.5D spherical equivalent) underwent a routine refractive surgery evaluation. Fundus examination revealed pathological myopia with posterior staphyloma and peripapillary atrophy in both eyes, while optical coherence tomography (OCT) demonstrated inner and outer MRS with focal vitreomacular traction in the right eye. Following an uneventful bilateral femtosecond LASIK procedure, the patient presented with visual blurring in the right eye at the two-month follow-up. OCT imaging showed significant progression of MRS with increased vitreomacular traction and central retinal thickness, leading to a decline in visual acuity to 6/24. Given the progressive nature of the pathology, PPV was performed. At 6-week and 4-month follow-ups, OCT demonstrated resolution of MRS with restoration of a normal foveal contour and thickness, and final visual acuity improved to 6/12.
conclusionFemtosecond LASIK in highly myopic eyes with pre-existing tractional macular abnormalities may exacerbate MRS progression. Alternative refractive procedures should be considered in such cases. Early vitrectomy intervention may be beneficial for progressive MRS to achieve anatomical and functional improvement.
