Review in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07690397 (GLAUCO-TECH Study), which is not on this map. Cited by 12 papers.

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.

Abstract

Dry eye disease (DED) has been found to occur at a higher prevalence in individuals with glaucoma than in individuals without glaucoma. The relationship between glaucoma and DED may be, in part, a result of glaucoma therapy. Greater number of antiglaucoma medications used and greater number of antiglaucoma eyedrops instilled per day have been associated with ocular surface disease in patients with glaucoma. Use of antiglaucoma medication has also been associated with higher levels of ocular surface inflammatory markers and ocular surface alterations. There is evidence to suggest that antiglaucoma medications with preservatives and, to some extent, antiglaucoma medication formulations without preservatives may contribute to ocular surface signs and symptoms. Trabeculectomy for glaucoma has also been associated with ocular surface signs related to DED; however, there may be benefits of trabeculectomy and other procedures for glaucoma due to reduced use of antiglaucoma medications. Patients with glaucoma with ocular surface disease have been found to have greater ocular surface symptoms, poorer vision-related quality of life, and poorer antiglaucoma medication adherence compared with patients with glaucoma without ocular surface disease. Because of the potential negative impact of DED on patients with glaucoma, patients with glaucoma may benefit from evaluation for DED. Management of DED in patients with glaucoma may include modifications to antiglaucoma medications and use of treatments for DED.
