A review of functional slit lamp biomicroscopy.
Review in Eye and vision (London, England), 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Functional slit lamp biomicroscopy (FSLB) is a novel device which consists of a traditional slit-lamp and a digital camera. It can quantitatively assess vessel diameter, blood flow velocity, and blood flow rate and can create noninvasive microvascular perfusion maps (nMPMs). At present, FSLB is mainly used in contact lens (CL) and dry eye disease (DED) studies to advance our understanding of ocular surface microcirculation. FSLB-derived blood flow and vessel density measures are significantly altered in CL wearers and DED patients compared to normal people. These subtle changes in the ocular surface microcirculation may contribute to the monitoring of potential diseases of the body and provide a new way to diagnose dry eye disease. Therefore, this may also indicate that FSLB can be more widely applied in the study of other diseases to reveal the relationship between changes in ocular surface microcirculation and systemic diseases. The purpose of this paper is to summarize the functions of FSLB and the related studies especially in CL and DED.
