Article in Frontiers in medicine, 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
Purpose: To demonstrate that LASIK is contraindicated in patients with granular corneal dystrophy through documentation of post-surgical disease exacerbation. Methods: Comprehensive clinical evaluation including anterior segment photography and multimodal imaging were performed on the proband and affected family members. Genomic DNA was isolated from peripheral blood samples, and targeted sequence capture array technique followed by PCR and Sanger sequencing were employed for mutation identification. Results: The proband presented with bilateral progressive vision loss following LASIK surgery performed at age 18. Anterior segment photography revealed extensive granular opacification within the corneal stroma, predominantly at the LASIK flap interface. Genetic analysis identified a heterozygous c.371G > A mutation in exon 4 of the Conclusion: LASIK surgery significantly accelerates granular corneal dystrophy type 2 progression through multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Comprehensive preoperative assessment incorporating genetic screening for
