Treatment of Severe Dry Eye in Stevens-Johnson Syndrome with Umbilical Cord Serum Eye Drops.
Article in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 evaluate the efficacy and safety of umbilical cord serum eye drops for dry eyes in ocular Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). Patients and Methods: A pre-post test study with umbilical cord serum (UCS) eye drop for ocular SJS patient with moderate to severe dry eyes. Study was conducted at Kirana Cipto Mangunkusumo General Hospital from June 2020 to December 2020. A total of five patients (five eyes) with a diagnosis of SJS more than 6 months, dry eye symptoms, and abnormal tear stability test results were included in the study. Each patient was asked to instill UCS drop into the affected eye six times daily. Evaluation of ocular symptoms with ocular surface disease index (OSDI) questionnaires, non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT), Schirmer I, and keratoepitheliopathy scores was administered before applying UCS drop and at week 2 and 4 of eye drop use. Results: From June 2020 to December 2020, five eyes of five patients were evaluated in this study. Patients were aged from 22 to 71 years old with history of SJS over periods from 1 to 35 years. Three patients underwent ocular surgeries prior to the study. After four weeks of treatment, symptoms score, Schirmer I, and keratoepitheliopathy scores improved significantly, while NIBUT scores improved insignificantly. No side effects were noted during treatment. Conclusion: Administration of UCS eye drop was effective in improving symptoms and signs of dry eye in chronic SJS patients.
