Adjunctive Photoactivated Chromophore for Keratitis-Corneal Cross-Linking for Refractory Pseudomonas aeruginosa Keratitis During Pregnancy: 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
Management of severe infectious keratitis during pregnancy is challenging because rapid control of a sight-threatening infection must be balanced against potential fetal exposure to antimicrobial agents and surgical interventions. Photoactivated chromophore for keratitis-corneal cross-linking (PACK-CXL) has been proposed as an adjunctive treatment for infectious keratitis associated with progressive stromal melting. A 34-year-old woman at 19 weeks of gestation presented with a two-day history of painful visual deterioration in her left eye. She was a contact lens wearer. Slit-lamp examination revealed a 5.0 × 3.5-mm paracentral corneal ulcer with a wet, necrotic appearance, an associated 3.5 × 3.5-mm stromal infiltrate, and corneal melting. Marked anterior chamber inflammation and a 0.5-mm hypopyon were present. Best-corrected visual acuity was 20/20 in the right eye and 20/200 in the left eye. Cultures of corneal scrapings and the contact lenses yielded
