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

Ocular surface is a complex functional unit in which tissues so different as structure and function harmonize to produce a very short life (15-45 sec) film - tear film essential for the quality of the vision. With age, the ocular surface undergoes a physiological decline, often with a limitation of its functionality. Administration of topical glaucoma treatment itself constitutes a solicitation of the ocular surface and the nature of "accessories" included in this "drop glaucoma treatment", that might be the last straw which breaks the fragile balance or aggravates a previously nonexistent suffering subclinical symptomatology by opening and inducing reactions to treatment. Topical treatment in glaucoma could have the complex aspect of an adoption. Every adoption is a delicate and unpredictable phenomenon. Success does mean harmony and coexistence. For the adoption to succeed, one needs to know well the adoptive environment, the adopted element and the science and art to harmonize them together.
