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 assess the patient barriers to adherence with corticosteroid eye drops in patients with ocular inflammatory disorders across the United States. Methods: This was a multicenter study of adult and pediatric patients with uveitis undergoing treatment with corticosteroid eye drops. Sites included the Johns Hopkins Wilmer Eye, the University of Texas at Austin, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the University of Minnesota, the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Hospital, and the Washington University of St. Louis. Eligible patients completed a self-reporting survey to assess barriers to adherence with corticosteroid eye drops. Results: The survey was completed fully by 94 subjects and partially by 20 (115 in total), of whom were 66% White, 60% female, and 47% had a college or advanced degree. While some patients (5.5%, Conclusions: Barriers to corticosteroid eye drop treatments for ocular inflammatory disease include difficulty with medication frequency, polypharmacy, medication administration, missing refills, and running out of medication early. Addressing these barriers may improve adherence with corticosteroid eye drops to achieve treatment goals.
