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

BACKGROUND/

aimThis study aimed to investigate the association between the perioperative usage of hyaluronic acid (HA)-containing artificial tears and the refractive accuracy of cataract surgery in patients with dry eye disease (DED). PATIENTS AND

methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, patients with DED who underwent cataract surgery were categorized based on their use of HA-containing artificial tears. A total of 62 eyes were assigned to the non-HA group and 54 eyes to the HA group. The primary outcomes were the uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA), postoperative spherical equivalent (SE), and astigmatism assessed

resultsThree months postoperatively, the UDVA in the HA group was significantly better than that in the non-HA group (

conclusionPerioperative use of HA-containing artificial tears is associated with improved refractive accuracy following cataract surgery in patients with DED.
