Hyaluronic Acid and Galacto-Xyloglucan Eyedrop Efficacy in Young-Adult Oral Contraceptive Users of Childbearing Age.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
To assess the efficacy of 0.4% hyaluronic acid and 0.2% galacto-xyloglucan for the subjective symptoms of dry eye disease and tear film invasive and noninvasive signs in 34 young-adult oral contraceptive users of childbearing age, a prospective, longitudinal, single-blind, clinical study was performed in a population of childbearing-age oral-contraceptive consumers. Subjective dry eye disease questionnaires, and invasive and noninvasive tear film assessments were reported before and after six weeks of hyaluronic acid with galacto-xyloglucan (HA-GX) treatment versus hyaluronic acid alone (HA). HA-GX treatment resulted in a greater decrease in the ocular surface disease index (17.01 ± 11.36 score points, p < 0.01) than the HA variation (11.61 ± 11.18 score points, p < 0.01). The standard patient evaluation of eye dryness also decreased more in the HA-GX group (4.06 ± 5.50 score points, p < 0.01) than in the HA alone group (0.70 ± 3.16, p = 0.21). Regarding noninvasive break-up time (NIBUT), the HA-GX group’s first NIBUT achieved an increase of 1.75 ± 1.16 s, p < 0.01, while the HA-alone group increased by only 0.54 ± 1.01 s, p < 0.01. The HA-GX group’s mean NIBUT reported an increase of 3.72 ± 5.69 s, p < 0.01; however, the HA-alone group achieved 2.19 ± 5.26 s, p = 0.05. Hyaluronic acid in combination with galacto-xyloglucan significantly decreased subjective dry eye disease symptoms and increased first and mean NIBUT compared to hyaluronic acid alone. Galacto-xyloglucan added efficacy in young-adult childbearing-age oral contraceptive users.
