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

Dry eye disease is a very common condition, especially among aging women. People often think of it as a very mild and non-harmful issue, but the reality is that it has a huge deleterious effect on patients' quality of life. Most publications usually focus on the scientific aspects of this pathology: its epidemiology, diagnosis, or management. However, in this article we highlight the patient's perspective and the challenges of living with dry eye disease. With prior informed consent, we interviewed a patient whose life has drastically changed since she first got the diagnosis. We also asked healthcare professionals based in Miami who were involved in this patient's care for their opinions. We hope that the messages and commentaries resonate with patients and physicians involved in the care of dry eye disease worldwide.
