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

Drug-related conjunctivitis can compromise ocular health and quality of life. To evaluate its epidemiology, we analyzed reports from the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) spanning January 2004 to June 2024. The control group in this study comprised individuals using non-target drugs, while the experimental group consisted of individuals using target drugs. Using disproportionality analysis, we identified drugs with a positive signal for conjunctivitis and stratified their risk levels; we also examined induction periods to assess the speed of onset. Among 38 drugs most frequently reported for conjunctivitis, two ophthalmic agents-brimonidine (ROR = 23.04) and latanoprost (ROR = 10.55)-and eight non-ophthalmic drugs, including tralokinumab (ROR = 83.3), dupilumab (ROR = 18.92), and allopurinol (ROR = 5.04), were associated with positive signals. Tralokinumab, brimonidine, dupilumab, and latanoprost were identified as high-association medications. Notably, ophthalmic agents had a significantly shorter induction period than non-ophthalmic drugs (mean 125.9 vs. 298.4 days). These findings underscore the need for vigilant pharmacovigilance and further investigation into the etiology and prevention of drug-related conjunctivitis.
