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

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of different hyaluronic acid (HA)-containing artificial tears on dry eye disease (DED) treatment in combination with intense pulsed light (IPL) therapy. A retrospective cohort study was conducted, and the participants received IPL therapy and HA-containing artificial tears. There were 42 and 40 eyes in the 0.10% and 0.15% HA groups after selection, respectively. The main outcomes were the postoperative non-invasive tear break-up time (NITBUT), Schirmer II test results, ocular surface stain, and numbers of DED-related symptoms. A generalized linear model was utilized to produce the adjusted odds ratio (aOR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) of the main outcomes between groups. At the three-month follow-up, the NITBUT was significantly higher in the 0.15% HA group (
