Effect of 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops on the prediction of intraocular lens power in predisposition to dry eye patients scheduled for cataract surgery: a prospective, observational study.

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
Purpose: To investigate the effect of 3% diquafosol sodium eye drops (DQS) on intraocular lens (IOL) power calculated by multiple common formulas before surgery in patients with predisposition to dry eye (p-DE) scheduled for cataract surgery. Methods: This prospective, observational study included patients scheduled for cataract surgery at the Ophthalmology Clinic of Jiangsu Provincial People's Hospital between July 2022 and July 2023. A total of 50 eyes underwent repeated measurements to assess instrument stability, while 91 were divided into p-DE and control groups with mean tear break-up time (mBUT) <10 s and mBUT ≥10 s, respectively. Biological indexes were measured 5 min after DQS use in both p-DE and control groups. Results: Following DQS eye drops application, the p-DE group exhibited a higher number of eyes with changes in IOL power (calculated by SRK formula) and tear film stability (TFS) compared with the control group ( Conclusion: Use of 3% DQS induces changes in intraocular lens power by affecting steep keratometry values, with such change being more significant in predisposition to dry eyes and warranting attention. When planning cataract surgery, it is recommended to prioritize the Barrett Universal II formula for IOL power calculation.
