Contact lenses for the treatment of ocular surface diseases.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 21 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
Contact lens wear is useful in ocular conditions such as high refractive errors, irregular astigmatism, corneal ectasias, corneal dystrophies, post-keratoplasty, post-refractive surgeries, trauma, and ocular surface diseases. The new innovations of highly oxygen-permeable contact lens materials have broadened the applications of contact lens suitability. Therapeutic contact lenses are medically used in the management of a wide variety of corneal conditions and ocular surface diseases. These lenses aid in pain relief, enhance corneal healing, maintain ocular homeostasis, and act as a drug delivery system. Drug delivery applications of contact lenses hold promise for improving topical therapy. The modern rigid gas permeable scleral contact lens provides symptomatic relief in painful corneal diseases such as bullous keratopathy, corneal epithelial abrasions, and erosions. It has been useful in therapeutic management as well as visual rehabilitation by enhancing the ocular surface and protecting the cornea from adverse environmental conditions. This review provides a summary of contact lenses used for the treatment of ocular surface diseases based on the current evidence available in the literature. This can help enhance the understanding and management of ocular surface diseases with respect to contact lens use in our day-to-day ophthalmology practice.
