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

purposeThis study aimed to compare the adhesion of Asian dust to four types of reusable silicone hydrogel soft contact lenses (SiHySCLs), including lehfilcon A, which was recently introduced in the market.

methodsFour types of SiHySCLs available in Japan (senofilcon A, samfilcon A, comfilcon A, lehfilcon A) were used (10 lenses per group). A 0.2 mL drop of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 0.01 mg/mL of Asian dust was randomly applied on the surface of the soft contact lens (SCL) using the Latin squares method. This was followed by 1 min of gentle agitation and 1 min of vibrational stirring after 1 h of static incubation. The lens was subsequently washed three times with PBS. The area of the Asian dust that had adhered after washing was quantified.

resultsThe proportion of residual particles adhering to the SiHySCL surface was as follows: senofilcon A (6.6 ± 1.3%), samfilcon A (0.6 ± 0.2%), comfilcon A (0.8 ± 0.4%), lehfilcon A (0.1 ± 0.1%). Compared to the other lenses, lehfilcon A exhibited significantly lower adhesion to Asian dust (all p < 0.01).

conclusionLehfilcon A demonstrated minimal adhesion of Asian dust components among the assessed reusable SiHySCLs, suggesting that it is a favorable option during periods of Asian dust exposure.
