Acute Corneal Epithelial Detachment During Lid Speculum Placement Prior to Intravitreal Injection in a Diabetic Patient: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical optometry, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Diabetic macular edema (DME) is a vision-threatening complication of diabetic retinopathy. Intravitreal anti-VEGF injections offer effective treatment, but they carry a risk of corneal epithelial detachment, particularly in patients who have recently undergone cataract surgery. Case Presentation: A 63-year-old male developed bilateral DME following cataract surgery with intraocular lens implantation. His best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.15 in the right eye and 0.5 in the left eye. The patient underwent bilateral intravitreal injections of the anti-VEGF agent conbercept. During preparation for the injection in the left eye, corneal epithelial bleb formation was observed. The patient received corneal patching therapy, with complete epithelial healing observed by day 10 post-injection. This case underscores the need for vigilant corneal monitoring during and after intravitreal injections in diabetic patients with prior cataract surgery. Conclusion: Close observation of corneal epithelial healing is crucial in diabetic patients receiving intravitreal injections, especially those with a recent history of cataract surgery. Careful pre-injection assessment and vigilant post-injection management are essential to mitigate this potential complication.
