Dry Eyes among Visual Display Terminal Users Visiting the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology of a Tertiary Care Centre.
Article in JNMA; journal of the Nepal Medical Association, 2023. 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
Introduction: Visual display terminal usage has increased substantially in recent years across all age groups and is considered one of the major risk factors for dry eye disease. Early assesment of dry eyes and prevention is important. The aim of this study is to find the prevalence of dry eyes among visual display terminal users visiting the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology of a tertiary care centre. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among patients visiting the Department of Ophthalmology in a tertiary care centre after receiving ethical approval from the Institutional Review Committee. Data was collected from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022. Convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 90% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 94 visual display terminal users, the prevalence of dry eyes was 55 (58.51%) (50.18-66.84, 90% Confidence Interval). Conclusions: The prevalence of dry eyes among visual display terminal users visiting the Outpatient Department of Ophthalmology was similar to other studies done in similar settings. Keywords: dry eyes; health; prevalence.
