Relationship between dry eye disease and myopia: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Heliyon, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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/objectives: Dry eye disease (DED) and myopia are common ocular disorders. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigated the association between DED and myopia. Methods: PubMed and EMBASE were searched for articles published between 1984 and 2022. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklist, and analysis was conducted using the DerSimonian-Laird random-effects model. Results: Of the 1,313 studies identified, 15 studies on DED and myopia were included. The meta-analysis revealed that the overall prevalence of subjective DED symptoms in the myopia population was 45.1 % (95 % confidence interval: 0.287-0.616). There was a significant association between DED and myopia. The myopia population had higher Ocular Surface Disease Index scores and shorter tear film breakup times than the non-myopia population. Additionally, the meta-regression analysis showed that spherical equivalent was significantly associated with the prevalence of DED symptoms in adults with myopia. Conclusion: Interventions to prevent DED are required in the myopia population. Enhancing patient awareness and self-management for DED, in addition to early screening and detection, is especially critical for younger populations who are at a higher risk of developing myopia.
