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

Purpose: To study was to study the efficacy of autologous platelet-rich plasma injections (PRPi) in the treatment of dry eyes. Methods: This prospective, interventional study was conducted at a tertiary eye care center, India. One hundred and sixty eyes of 80 patients with newly diagnosed dry eyes were included. One eye received PRPi (cases = 80 eyes), and the other eye of the patient received a lubricating drop (control = 80 eyes). Cases who did not improve at 1-month follow-up (FU) were reinjected with PRP. The outcomes were measured on the basis of ocular surface disease index (OSDI), Schirmer's test (ST), noninvasive tear breakup time (NIBUT), tear meniscus height (TMH), and ocular surface staining (OSS) score done at baseline and 1-month, 2-month, 3-month, and 6-month FU. Results: Sixty cases showed a significant improvement in all the outcome measures at 1 month ( Conclusion: PRPi, as a monotherapy given on
