Fungal Keratitis Following Application of Dehydrated Amniotic Membrane (Omnigen) With (OmniLenz) Bandage Contact Lens.

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
Background: Amniotic membrane is a common treatment option for several corneal and conjunctival conditions. There are several methods for preserving amniotic membrane, and each involves some compromise of the tissue integrity. Dehydrated amniotic membrane has been used for several indications, including microbial infections, aniridia, chemical burns, and limbal stem cell deficiency, as in Steven-Johnson syndrome. We report a case of fungal keratitis following the application of a sutureless dehydrated amniotic membrane using specialized bandage contact lens, OmnioLenz (NuVision Biotherapies Ltd., United Kingdom). Case Report: A 34-year-old male with keratoconus who had undergone deep anterior lamellar keratoplasty presented with a recurrent epithelial defect at the graft-host junction that was not responding to conservative management. A sutureless dehydrated amniotic membrane was applied but the patient developed fungal keratitis in the central cornea. The infiltrate culture revealed Conclusion: High suspicion and close observation are recommended for patients who underwent keratoplasty, especially in the presence of multiple risk factors such as dehydrated amniotic membrane transplant, to detect any signs of infection in a timely manner and thereby prevent vision-threatening complications.
