The relationship of distance learning with ocular surface disorders in students in the COVID-19 pandemic.
Article in International ophthalmology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeTo evaluate ocular surface disorders in students whose daily screen time increased due to distance learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
methodsEighty-eight eyes of 44 cases were included in this cross-sectional study. The distance learning students with complaints of redness, stinging, and increased blinking were evaluated. Biomicroscopic examination findings, spherical equivalent, keratometry values, and average daily average screen time were recorded. Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI) survey and non-contact tear film breakup time (BUT) assessment (Topcon CA-800) were performed.
resultsForty-four cases between 15 and 25 years old were evaluated; 25 were girls (56.8%), 19 were boys (43.2%), and the mean age was 19.2 ± 3.9 years (15-25). The mean daily screen time was 4.9 ± 0.9 h. The mean non-contact BUT was 3.18 ± 2.0 s (1.24-8.80 s), and the spherical equivalent was -1.39 ± 1.79. Punctate epitheliopathy was present in 33 eyes (37.5%) on biomicroscopic examination. The mean OSDI score was 37.12 ± 20.30 (10-75) points. A significant positive correlation was present between daily average screen time, punctate epitheliopathy (r = 0,341; p = 0,001), and OSDI score (r = 0,510; p < 0,001). There was also a significant positive correlation between the OSDI score and punctate epitheliopathy (r = 0.754; p < 0.001). There was no significant correlation between the non-contact BUT and punctate epitheliopathy, OSDI score, or daily screen time (p > 0.05).
conclusionOcular surface disorders in students can be associated with increasing daily screen time due to distance learning.
