1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeTo report on a case of a young female with progressing dry eye symptoms and evolving autoimmune markers consistent with a presentation of early Sjogren's syndrome (SS). OBSERVATIONS: A 32 year-old female presented with chronic dry eye symptoms refractory to artificial tears. Slit lamp examination revealed punctate epithelial erosions, decreased tear break-up time, and decreased tear lake bilaterally. Initial tests for ocular surface inflammation (InflammaDry, Quidel, San Diego) and systemic autoantibodies (antinuclear antibodies, anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La) were negative. After 4 months of persistent ocular symptoms and signs, ocular surface inflammation was detected via InflammaDry and blood results included a positive antinuclear antibody (1:160), rheumatoid factor (IgG 25.3 EU/ml), and carbonic anhydrase 6 (IgM 20.2 EU/ml), but persistently negative anti-SSA/Ro and anti-SSB/La antibodies. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: Taken together, these findings were suggestive of early Sjogren's syndrome with simultaneous appearance of both ocular and serum biomarkers. Novel autoantibodies testing in suspected patients can guide early intervention and potentially improve both the glandular and extra-glandular function in patients.
