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

purposeScleral contact lenses (SCLs) are devices that allow a fluid reservoir between the contact lens and the cornea, providing both improved lubrication and refraction. Consequently, SCLs have been used for significant refractive error in addition to a wide range of ocular surface diseases. We present the first case of a woman who complained of severe dryness and pain following resection of an adenoid cystic carcinoma of her lacrimal gland with complete resolution of her symptoms with a SCL. OBSERVATIONS: A woman who complained of severe dryness and pain following resection of an adenoid cystic carcinoma of her lacrimal gland presented to the ophthalmology clinic. She had no subsequent lacrimal function without relief from conventional dry eye treatments. However, early treatment with a SCL successfully preserved her ocular surface, improved her corneal staining pattern, and improved her vision. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPORTANCE: While other options exist, including permanent tarsorrhaphy, lid taping, or moisture goggles, the SCL allowed the combination of cosmesis, visual function, and ocular surface rehabilitation.
