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

purposeTo profile tear cytokine changes in Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HSCT) patients after instillation of daily topical cyclosporine-A 0.1% cationic emulsion.

methodsParticipants in a longitudinal study were given cyclosporine eyedrops daily from 3 to 5 weeks before and 3 months, 6 months, and 12 months post-HSCT. The outcomes included tear cytokine concentration assayed by the Proximity Extension Assay O-linked target 96 platform. The patients were divided into two groups: Group 1 (

resultsThe levels of 38 cytokines/chemokines showed significant changes (

conclusionsHSCT induces significant elevation of 38 tear cytokines/chemokines even without the occurrence of ocular graft-versus-host disease when systemic immunosuppression is reduced within the first year. Topical daily cyclosporine eyedrops can reduce some pro-inflammatory tear cytokines.
