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

Discomfort is one of the leading causes associated with contact lens dropout. This study investigated changes in the tear film parameters induced by lens wear and their relationship with ocular symptomology. Thirty-four lens wearers (32.9 ± 9.1 years, 7 men) and thirty-three non-lens wearers (29.4 ± 6.8 years, 12 men) participated in this clinical setting. Subjects were categorised into asymptomatic (n = 11), moderate (n = 15), or severe symptomatic (n = 8). Clinical evaluations were performed in the morning, including blink frequency and completeness, pre-corneal (NIBUT) and pre-lens non-invasive break-up (PL-NIBUT), lipid interference patterns, and tear meniscus height. Contact lens wearers had a higher percentage of incomplete blinks (37% vs. 19%,
