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

backgounAsthma and dry eye disease are common clinical diseases. Studies have shown that asthma is related to dry eye, but there is no high-quality evidence-based medical evidence.

methodThis protocol and final study will be conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic review and Meta-Analysis Protocols 2015 statement. We will search PubMed, EMBASE, ISI Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure for all relevant literature published from their inception up to August 1, 2020. Literature search, data extraction, and quality assessment will be carried out independently by two researchers, and a third researcher will resolve differences when necessary. The association between dry eye disease and asthma will indicate as odds ratio with 95% confidence interval and statistically analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. If the studies included have high heterogeneity, we will conduct sensitivity analysis and subgroup analysis.

resultsThe protocol is intended to guide a meta-analysis aimed at identifying and quantifying the association between asthma and dry eye disease.
