Study of tear film optics and its impact on quality of vision.
Article 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 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeTo evaluate the relation of the tear film on the quality of vision comparing parameters in normal patients to those having dry eye disease.
methods50 normal and 50 eyes with dry eye disease (DED) were included in the study. Patients were screened for dry eye with Schirmer's test, tear break up time, ocular surface staining, and assessment of meibomian gland disease. Their quality of vision was assessed using the Optical quality analysis system (OQAS). The results of dry eye evaluation were correlated with the parameters on the OQAS especially the mean objective scatter index (OSI).
resultsPatients with dry eye and unstable tear film were found to have a significantly worse quality of vision and optical scatter (P < 0.05). They were also noted to have fluctuation of vision between blinks.
conclusionTear film optics can have an important bearing on the quality of vision and quality of life. A detailed assessment preoperatively will help improve surgical outcomes and patient satisfaction.
