Empowering vision: the impact of nursing-led educational program on patients with dry eye syndrome.
Article in BMC nursing, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06288945 (Effect of an Educational Program on Health-related Outcomes of Patients With Dry Eye Syndrome), which is not on this map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.

Abstract
backgroundDry eye syndrome (DES) is a widespread ocular condition affecting the general population. It is a complex disorder affecting the eye surface, characterized by a tear film imbalance and ocular symptoms such as eye ache, burning, irritation, dryness, blurred vision, and foreign body sensation. DES can reduce visual acuity, increase the risk of ocular infection, and significantly impact daily activities and quality of life.
aimDetermine the impact of nursing-led educational program on the management of DES and patients' health outcomes including the intensity of DES symptoms and their influence on visual-related functions.
methodsThe study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design. Sixty adult patients diagnosed with DES were selected using a convenience sampling method. Two tools were employed for the collection of data. Tool I: Precipitating factors of DES structured interview schedule. Tool II: Ocular surface disease index (OSDI) to assess ocular irritation symptoms associated with DES and their effect on functions related to vision.
resultsA statistically significant decrease in the mean scores of OSDI in the study group two weeks after the implementation of the educational program regarding the ocular symptoms, functions associated with vision, environmental triggers, and overall score of OSDI.
conclusionImplementing an educational program for DES is effective in relieving symptoms, boosting patients' understanding of managing symptoms effectively, and maintaining eye health. Therefore, patients must be instructed on dry eye early detection and management to enhance health-related outcomes and self-care practices. REGISTRATION: ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT06288945.
