Efficacy and Safety of Quantum Molecular Resonance Electrotherapy in Dry Eye Disease: A Systematic Review with Meta-analysis.
Article in Ophthalmology and therapy, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
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
introductionThis study aimed to investigate the efficacy and safety of quantum molecular resonance (QMR) electrotherapy in patients with dry eye disease (DED).
methodsA systematic review with meta-analysis, reporting the effects of QMR electrotherapy in three databases, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science, was performed according to the PRISMA statement with a search period ending on December 24, 2024.
resultsSeven studies, including four open-label, non-comparative trials and three randomized controlled studies (RCTs), were included. Although all studies reported significant improvements in most outcome measures after QMR electrotherapy, the meta-analysis indicated that overall efficacy did not significantly favor either group when comparing QMR electrotherapy to controls (SMD 0.40; 95% CI - 0.06 to 0.86; P = 0.09; I
conclusionsWith the current scientific literature available to date, QMR electrotherapy seems to show some evidence of alleviating DED symptoms. However, evidence supporting its efficacy in improving DED signs and safety remains limited. Therefore, further RCTs with robust designs are needed to confirm these findings.
