Dynamic Aspects of Pre-Soft Contact Lens Tear Film and Their Relation to Dry Eye: Basic Science and Clinical Relevance.
Review in Life (Basel, Switzerland), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Soft contact lens (SCL) perturbs the intimate connection between the pre-lens tear film (PLTF) and the ocular surface in various ways, i.e., (i) decrease in tear meniscus radius and aqueous tear thickness, (ii) attenuation of tear film lipid layer spread, (iii) limited wettability of SCL surface, (iv) increased friction with eyelid wiper, etc. This often results in SCL-related dry eye (SCLRDE) manifested as PLTF instability and contact lens discomfort (CLD). In this review, the individual contributions of factors (i-iv) to PLTF breakup patterns (BUP) and CLD are considered via the tear film-oriented diagnosis framework adopted by the Asia Dry Eye Society from a clinical and basic science perspective. It is shown that SCLRDE (due to aqueous deficiency, increased evaporation, or decreased wettability) and BUP of PLTF classify within the same types as the ones observed for the precorneal tear film. The analysis of PLTF dynamics reveals that the inclusion of SCL enhances the manifestation of BUP associated with (i) decreased thickness of PLTF aqueous layer and (ii) limited SCL wettability as shown by the rapid expansion of BUP area. PLTF thinness and instability result in increased blink-related friction and lid wiper epitheliopathy as major contributor to CLD.
