Autologous serum eye drops for patients with dry eye disease: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.

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
Background: Dry eye disease (DED) is highly prevalent worldwide, leading to increased medical costs, economic burdens on families and society, and a diminished quality of life for patients. The utilization of autologous serum eye drops (ASEDs) for the treatment of DED is progressively rising. Objective: To further evaluate the efficacy and safety of ASEDs in the treatment of DED. Methods: A thorough search for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) was conducted across eight databases, including PubMed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang, SinoMed, and VIP. This search encompassed the inception of each database up to April 1, 2024, with a specific focus on identifying RCTs evaluating the efficacy and safety of ASEDs for the treatment of DED. Data analysis was conducted utilizing Stata 15.0 software and the Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was utilized to appraise the literature's quality. Results: The study encompassed 12 RCTs. In comparison to the use of artificial tears (AT), patients diagnosed with DED who utilized ASEDs displayed elevated the Schirmer test (ST) scores [WMD = 2.35, 95% CI (1.45, 3.24), Conclusion: In this study, ASEDs had been shown to enhance tear secretion, extend tear film break-up time, mitigate corneal epithelial damage, ameliorate OSDI scores, and exhibit greater safety compared to AT.
