Expulsive Choroidal Hemorrhage during Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery in a Patient with Acute Angle-Closure Glaucoma: A Case Report.

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
Introduction: We present a case that underscores the occurrence of expulsive choroidal hemorrhage (ECH) during the procedure of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), emphasizing the imperative for surgeons to engage in a meticulous evaluation of the ECH risk associated with FLACS. Case Presentation: A 73-year-old female patient, afflicted with cataract and acute angle-closure glaucoma, underwent FLACS. After an initial attempt at docking met with failure, the second endeavor proved successful. In the wake of the femtosecond laser surgery, a minor hemorrhage was discerned at the nasal anterior chamber angle. During the phacoemulsification, further hemorrhaging manifested at the nasal anterior chamber, accompanied by a sub-incisional iris that prolapsed from the main incision. A rupture of the posterior capsule ensued, precipitating the outflow of blood and vitreous from the vitreous cavity, thereby thwarting the planned implantation of the intraocular lens. Consequently, the patient underwent vitrectomy and external drainage of the sclera. Remarkably, her postoperative course unfolded without incident, culminating in an uneventful final result. Conclusions: This case suggests that performing FLACS during cataract surgery in patients with acute angle-closure glaucoma may lead to ECH. It is advisable to consider FLACS after sufficiently and adequately reducing intraocular pressure and eliminating intraocular inflammation only. Surgeons should more carefully assess the risks and benefits of using FLACS in similar cases and develop a management plan for potential ECH.
