Factors affecting the prevalence, severity, and characteristics of ocular surface pain.
Article in Expert review of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Introduction: Ocular surface pain has been traditionally lumped under the umbrella term "dry eye" (DE) but is now understood as its own entity and can occur in the absence or presence of tear dysfunction. Identifying patients at risk for the development of chronic ocular surface pain, and factors contributing to its severity are important in providing precision medicine to patients. Areas covered: In this review, we discuss factors linked to the presence and severity of ocular surface pain, including eye related features, systemic characteristics, and environmental findings. We discuss corneal nerves, whose anatomic and functional integrity can be characterized through Expert opinion: Intrinsic and extrinsic factors contribute to ocular surface pain and must be considered when evaluating an individual patient. These factors can inform the suspected etiology of the pain, and guide management decisions such as tear replacement or medications targeting nerve pain.
