Article in Health science reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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: Electronic devices play a significant role in enhancing the educational experience for students, including those in the health sciences. However, the misuse and overuse of electronic devices can lead to vision health problems. This study aims to investigate the relationship between electronic device types, electronic device screen distance, and dry eye disease (DED) symptoms in female medical students in Saudi Arabia. Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 260 female health sciences students at King Saud Bin Abdulaziz University for Health Sciences (KSUA-HS), Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, who voluntarily participated online between October 2022 and January 2023. We collected data on electronic device variables and DED symptoms. Result: Of the 260 participants, 60% ( Conclusion: The short screen distance of electronic devices has a significant impact on increasing the DED symptoms among female healthcare students who use electronic devices in Saudi Arabia. This study provides insight into the use of electronic devices to improve diagnostic and preventive strategies for DED symptoms.
