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

To investigate the effect of coal industry-related airborne particulate matter (PM) on ocular surface tear film injury and inflammatory factor expression. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into the treatment group and the normal control group, with five rats in each group. A dust chamber was used to simulate the air contamination conditions associated with the coal industry. Tear secretion, tear-film breakup time (BUT), conjunctival congestion score, and relative expression levels of tear inflammatory factors, including interleukin (IL)-6, IL-17, and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, were compared between the treatment group and the normal control group. After 4 weeks' exposure, tear secretion (2.64 ± 0.57 mm vs 5.42 ± 0.28 mm), BUT (4.23 ± 0.47 s vs 6.15 ± 0.36 s), and conjunctival congestion score [2 (2, 3) vs 0 (0, 1)] were significantly different between the treatment group and the control group (all
