Use of Femtosecond Laser for Cataract Surgery in Patients With Previous Anterior Lamellar Keratoplasty and Corneal Scar: 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
This study describes the outcomes of femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS) in patients with prior corneal scarring and prior anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK). Two male patients, aged 65 and 61 years, presented for cataract surgery with a central corneal scar and previous ALK, respectively. Both underwent standard FLACS to address their cataracts amidst these complex corneal conditions. The procedure successfully achieved a centered 5.0 mm capsulotomy without tags or tears, and the lens was segmented into a sextant pattern and removed without difficulty. No serious intraoperative complications occurred. In the first case, best corrected visual acuity improved from 20/150 to 20/40 at 1-month postoperation, with the patient reporting enhanced visual clarity. In the second case, visual acuity improved from 20/800 to 20/100 1 month after surgery, with further enhancement to 20/60 following scleral lens fitting. This study represents an existing technique on the use of FLACS in patients with ALK and corneal scarring. The findings demonstrate that FLACS can be effectively and safely performed in these challenging cases, providing valuable insights into its potential advantages over traditional manual cataract surgery, particularly in patients with compromised ocular structures and limited lens visibility.
