Mouse models in studies on the etiology of evaporative dry eye disease.
Review in Experimental eye research, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Evaporative dry eye disease (DED) is a common ocular condition impacting the quality of life of millions of patients worldwide. The etiology of evaporative DED is related to dysfunction of meibomian glands (MGs), resulting in suboptimal yield or lipid composition of secreted meibum. The clinical manifestation of evaporative DED involves mechanical obstruction of the MG orifice and decreased tear film stability that leads to chronic eye irritation, inflammation, and progressive damage to the cornea and surrounding tissue. Despite its high prevalence, evaporative DED remains an unmet medical need. The main obstacle in the development of effective therapeutic strategies against this disease is inadequate knowledge about the complex arrays of lipogenic reactions (meibogenesis) in the MGs and a lack of suitable animal models of the human condition. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the creation of genetically modified mouse models that recapitulate the phenotype of evaporative DED as well as their impact on our understanding of lipid biosynthesis in MGs and therapeutic strategies targeting meibogenesis.
