Impact of corneal refractive surgery on the precorneal tear film.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Corneal refractive surgeries are one of the commonly performed procedures for correction of refractive errors. Tear film abnormality is the most common postoperative complication of corneal refractive surgeries. Consequently, these procedures represent a clinically significant cause of dry eye disease. The mechanisms which lead to dry eye disease include corneal sensory nerve dysfunction, ocular surface desiccation, glandular apoptosis and ocular surface inflammation. Although transient tear film abnormalities occur in almost all patients following surgery, patients with pre-existing dry eye symptoms or dry eye disease are at significant risk of developing more severe or long-term ocular surface disease. As such, careful patient selection and preoperative evaluation is essential to ensuring successful surgical outcomes. This is particularly important with LASIK which has the strongest association with dry eye disease. Appropriate surface lubrication and anti-inflammatory therapy remains the cornerstone treatment. Timely and effective management is important to facilitate visual rehabilitation and reduce the risk of secondary complications. In this review we describe the causes, pathophysiology, risk factors, manifestations, and management of tear film dysfunction and dry eye disease following corneal refractive surgery.
