Changes of dry eye parameters after small incision lenticule extraction surgery in patients with different ocular surface disease index scores.
Article in Scientific reports, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
To evaluate the changes of dry eye parameters after small incision lenticule extraction (SMILE) surgery in patients with different ocular surface disease index (OSDI) scores. Prospective research. Participants were divided into two groups: Group A, OSDI < 13; and Group B, OSDI ≥ 13. The OSDI scores, tear meniscus height (TMH), first non-invasive tear film break-up time (NIBUT-First), and meibomian gland loss (MGL, %) were recorded at postoperative 1 -week and 1-month.113 eyes (57 patients) were enrolled, 70 eyes in Group A, and 43 eyes in Group B. In Group A, the OSDI scores significantly increased at 1-week and 1-month postoperative (all P < 0.001); the TMH, NIBUT-First and lipid layer grade significantly decreased at postoperative 1-week (P = 0.003, 0.005, 0.007, 0.004, respectively), but returned to preoperative level at 1-month postoperative. In Group B, only the lipid layer grade significantly decreased at postoperative 1-week (P < 0.05). Patients with different preoperative OSDI scores may experience different changes early after SMILE surgery. Patients with OSDI scores < 13 may experience more dramatic changes in dry eye symptoms which would resolve, while subjective complains could still exists at 1 month after surgery.
