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

Purpose To evaluate the ocular surface properties in epidemic keratoconjunctivitis (EKC) patients during healing process, and to detect the damage on conjunctival goblet cells. Methods Bilateral EKC patients confirmed with polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing were included. Firstly (Group 1) and secondly (Group 2) affected eyes were compared. Ocular surface parameters were performed at the first visit and first month. Results The study included 34 eyes of 17 patients. The mean age was 44.54 ± 16.80 (21-70) years (FM/M 20/14). The ocular findings in Groups 1 and 2 were not significant. For Groups 1 and 2, OSDI was 53.53 ± 23.01 and 35.90 ± 22.19 (p 0.03), tear osmolarity was 309.12 ± 19.38 and 297.47 ± 8.27 mOsm/µL (p 0.029), OSSS was 1.00 ± 0.79 and 0.18 ± 0.39 (p 0.001), T-BUT was 3.59 ± 2.29 and 6.00 ± 1.83 s (p 0.002), and Schirmer's 1 test was 10.94 ± 8.42 and 16.76 ± 9.05 mm (p 0.061), respectively. In Groups 1 and 2, the IC was Grade (G) 0 in 23.5% and 17.6%, G1 in 35.3% and 41.2%, and G2 in 41.2% and 41.2%, respectively. The ocular surface properties were worse in Group 1 than Group 2, and the difference was significant except for Schirmer's 1 test and IC. Conclusions Dry eye disorder is a complication of EKC and may cause a significant decrease in quality of life.
