Rapid Epithelial Ingrowth Following Laser In Situ Keratomileusis due to Screwdriver Trauma.

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: The purpose of this study is to report a unique case of rapid epithelial ingrowth following laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) flap trauma due to a flat blade screwdriver. Observations: A 36-year-old woman who had undergone LASIK 9 years ago experienced ocular trauma with a flat-blade screwdriver during construction work. She was referred to our hospital with complaints of blurred vision and pain in the right eye and was prescribed antibiotic eye drops. Treatment improved the corneal epithelial defect within 3 weeks of the injury; however, epithelial ingrowth rapidly progressed beneath the LASIK flap 3 months after the trauma. The epithelial ingrowth reached the pupil area 10 months postinjury; nevertheless, the patient's corrected visual acuity remained stable (1.2), and she continues to be followed up. Conclusion: Post-LASIK trauma may lead to epithelial cell ingrowth at the interface of the corneal flap. Thus, careful long-term follow-up is essential, particularly following post-LASIK corneal injury.
