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

aimTo quantify the severity and frequency of ocular pain in Tibetan plateau patients with dry eye, and to evaluate the related factors affecting ocular pain.

methodsA retrospective study included 160 cases of dry eye disease (DED) patients who were treated from July 2022 to June 2023. Age, gender, occupation, illness course, anxiety, plateau duration, plateau protection, ocular surface disease index scale (OSDI), break-up time (BUT), Schirmer I test (SIT), conjunctivitis, history of ophthalmic medication, autoimmune disease, the workload of daily near vision range, smoking and overnight stay were obtained

resultsTotally 77.5% (124/160) of DED patients had ocular pain, of which the severity of ocular pain was mild, moderate, and severe in 30.0%, 36.3%, and 11.3% of patients, respectively. Frequency of ocular pain was reported occasional, half the time, frequent, and persistent pain in 19.4%, 36.9%, 16.9%, and 4.4%. OSDI score was 19.67±5.70 (13 to 36), and the level of pain was lowly correlated with OSDI (

conclusionOcular pain is a common complaint in high-altitude DED patients during the pandemic. Anxiety, eye protection, and adequate sleep during the epidemic period are significantly associated with the severity and frequency of ocular pain in patients with plateau DED, while symptoms of DED have relatively little influence on them.
