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

purposeTo evaluate the correlation between clinical tests, patient symptoms, and conjunctivochalasis in contact lens wearers and non-wearers.

methodsThis study comprised 40 eyes of 40 current soft contact lens users and 40 eyes of 40 control subjects. Cross-sectional areas of conjunctivochalasis at three locations (nasal, central, temporal) during straight and downward gazes were determined using anterior segment optical coherence tomography in all participants. Tear film break up time test and Schirmer test with anesthesia were performed and for evaluation of symptoms, the participants completed ocular surface disease index questionnaire.

resultsDuring straight gaze, the mean cross-sectional areas of conjunctivochalasis were 0.0112 ± 0.009 and 0.006 ± 0.005 mm

conclusionWearing soft contact lenses is associated with increased conjunctivochalasis areas. Anterior segment optical coherence tomography determined conjunctivochalasis area is an objective clinical measurement value that is positively correlated with patients' symptoms in soft contact lens wearers.
