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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible effects of the noncontact air puff tonometry (NCT) and Icare rebound tonometry (ICT) on the tear film stability by using the tear stability analysis system (TSAS) and dry eye parameters. Fifteen eyes from fifteen normal healthy subjects were investigated in this study. All subjects underwent TSAS surface regularity index (SRI) examinations, TBUT, and IOP measurements. The mean IOP results measured with NCT were 13.3 ± 1.86 mm Hg, and the mean IOP results measured with ICT were 15.88 ± 3.09 mm Hg (p > 0.05). The mean values of baseline, 5 min, and 10 min of the NCT-SRI and ICR-SRI were tested. There were statistically significant differences between NCT-Baseline SRI, NCT-5 min SRI, and NCT-10 min SRI values (p < 0.05). SRI values significantly increased after NCT. The mean values of the baseline, 5 min, and 10 min of the ICT-SRI were also assessed. There were no statistically significant differences between ICT-Baseline SRI, ICT-5 min SRI, and ICT-10 min SRI values (p > 0.05). The mean TBUT values exhibited a significant decrease at 1 min, 5 min, and 10 min compared with baseline values for the NCT and ICT (p < 0.01). NCT-TBUT and ICT-TBUT values were also compared with each other in the same time period. There were no statistically significant differences between NCT-Baseline and ICT-Baseline TBUT values (p > 0.05). In conclusion, intraocular pressure measurements in routine ophthalmology clinical practices by either NCT or ICT cause deterioration in the tear film stability which might affect tear stability testing when performed soon after IOP measurements. It is best to wait at least for 20−30 min after the IOP measurement before evaluating the tear film and the corneal surface or perform tonometry after the tear film-ocular surface evaluation tests.
