Indirect Application of Intense Pulsed Light Induces Therapeutic Effects on Experimental Murine Meibomian Gland Dysfunction.
Article in Frontiers in medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
Purpose: To investigate the indirect effects of intense pulsed light (IPL) on morphological and pathological changes of the meibomian glands (MGs) in apolipoprotein E knockout ( Methods: Results: Three IPL treatments decreased the toothpaste-like plugging of orifices and thickening and irregularity of the upper and lower eyelid margins in Conclusion: Collectively, the results demonstrate that indirect effects of IPL can improve the structure and function of MGs and mitigate the progression of MGD, which may be related to the indirect effects of photobiomodulation.
