Recovery and regeneration: exploring positive sequelae of keratitis.
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
backgroundDisruption of the corneal epithelial barrier and the use of contact lenses are important risk factors for keratitis. Severe cases of keratitis can cause serious problems, including corneal scar and perforation, which can cause vision loss. Although keratitis is a significant cause of blindness, the healing process can offer substantial relief to patients who develop it after bullous keratopathy. CASE PRESENTATION: An 85-year-old patient, using bandage contact lenses for bullous keratopathy, presented with redness, mild pain and a sticky sensation in their left eye. His best visual acuity was 20/32 in the right eye and no light perception in the left eye. Biomicroscopic examination revealed pseudoexfoliation syndrome in the right eye, as well as circumferential and multifocal satellite lesions with hypopyon in the left eye. Fundus examination showed glaucomatous optic cupping in the right eye, while the left fundus could not be visualized. Ultrasonographic findings were normal. Following treatment for the fungal infection, the patient experienced significant relief of his symptoms due to corneal recovery and scar tissue formation.
conclusionThis case report demonstrates the beneficial impact of tissue repair and regeneration on the healing trajectory of cornea in a patient presenting with bullous keratopathy and stinging symptoms.
