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

We previously reported that 16.9% of allergic conjunctival disease cases were local allergic conjunctivitis (LAC). We therefore retrospectively investigated the pathological and clinical changes of LAC. Tear, conjunctival, and blood tests were performed on 313 patients with allergic conjunctival disease. A total of 313 patients with allergic conjunctival disease were surveyed using tear, conjunctival, and blood tests and QOL Questionnaire. In addition, we retrospectively examined the clinical test results of patients who agreed to re-examination more than one year after being diagnosed with LAC. Of the 313 cases, 44 were diagnosed as LAC (age ranged in 11-85 years (mean 67.8 years)) and 269 were diagnosed as non-LAC (7-92 years (mean 58.2 years)). There were 6 males (13.6%) and 38 females (86.4%), with more females even after age adjustment (p = 0.043). A QOL survey showed that LAC was characterized by less interference with daily life than non-LAC. After re-examination, 6 of 12 patients (50.0%) remained with LAC, while the remaining half changed to non-LAC. LAC was more common in older women than non-LAC. Considering the clinical change from LAC to non-LAC, it is speculated that the pathology of LAC may change over time.
