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

Dry eye syndrome and blepharitis are diseases that affect many patients from different age groups. There is not only a great variability in the manifestation between patients but they also show a mixture of associated symptoms. Thus, very different ocular and systemic diseases have to be included in the differential diagnosis of a primary dry eye disorder. This article provides a structured overview of these differential diagnoses and their characteristic appearance as well as the pitfalls and therapeutic options.
