A Randomized, Multicenter Phase 3 Clinical Trial Evaluating Intracanalicular Dexamethasone Insert for the Treatment of Allergic Conjunctivitis.
Trial report in Clinical ophthalmology (Auckland, N.Z.), 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04050865 (CLN-0052, A Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Masked, Vehicle Controlled Phase 3 Study Evaluation the Efficacy and Safety of OTX-DP for the Treatment of Allergic Conjunctivitis Using a Modified Conjunctival Allergen Challenge Model), which is not on this map.

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

Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a dexamethasone intracanalicular insert (DEX) for treatment of allergic conjunctivitis (AC). Patients and Methods: In this multicenter, randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled phase 3 study, adults (≥18 years) with AC were randomized 1:1 to DEX or placebo insert (PBO) placed bilaterally. Subjects underwent repetitive conjunctival allergen challenges (CAC) across 30 days and were assessed for changes in AC signs and symptoms. The primary endpoint was ocular itching score at 3, 5, and 7 minutes post-CAC at Day 8 (7 days post-insertion). This trial is registered on ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04050865). Results: Ninety-six subjects were randomized (n=48 DEX, n=48 PBO). Compared to PBO, there were statistically significant treatment differences favoring DEX for the primary endpoint of mean ocular itching score at Day 8 (-0.86, -0.98, -0.96 at 3, 5, and 7 minutes post-CAC respectively; Conclusion: Results of this study support the potential use of dexamethasone insert as a physician-administered, preservative-free treatment for AC, with significant improvements in ocular itching and conjunctival redness compared with placebo. The dexamethasone insert was generally safe with a favorable safety profile.
