Midday Fogging of Scleral Contact Lenses: Current Perspectives.
Review in Clinical optometry, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Midday fogging is a common problem in scleral lens wear, as particles accumulate in the tear reservoir between the posterior surface of the lens and the front of the ocular surface during wear. As particulate waste collects, symptoms of blurred vision and discomfort arise, typically leading patients to remove their lenses for cleaning, refilling with fresh solution, and reinsertion into the eye. The appearance of the particulate can vary, likely due to different causes for midday fogging. Studies which attempted to identify the particulate have given some insight into some of the causes, but larger studies are needed to identify this debris. Research on lens solutions used for filling the lens reservoir and of various aspects of scleral lens fits have also begun to culminate in the concept that midday fogging may ultimately be related to inflammation. Since scleral lens wearers can have varied and multiple sources of inflammation, strategies in minimizing midday fogging can differ between patients.
