1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

This study evaluated tear film and ocular surface parameters in patients after cataract surgery.

methodsa prospective clinical study included 48 eyes of 48 patients who underwent uncomplicated phacoemulsification performed by one surgeon. Tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer's I test, Cochet-Bonnet esthesiometry and in vivo laser scanning confocal microscopy was carried out and the OSDI questionnaire was filled out. All tests were assessed before and 1 month after the surgery.

resultsthere were 32 (66.7%) women; 16 (33.3%) men, mean age was 74.08 ± 5.37. Mean TBUT at baseline was 8.6 ± 1.9 s, after the surgery, it was 7.7 ± 2.7 s,

conclusionsthe ocular surface was affected 1 month after the cataract surgery: TBUT was shorter, Schirmer's I test and corneal nerve density were decreased while the OSDI score increased.
