Correlation Between Myopia Degree and Postoperative Dry Eye Disease in Keratorefractive Lenticule Extraction Surgery.

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
purposeThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between myopia degree and the rate of postoperative dry eye disease (DED) in participants who received keratorefractive lenticule extraction (KLEx) surgery.
methodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted, and participants who received KLEx surgery were included. After selection, a total of 95 and 76 eyes were classified into the low myopia (LM) and high myopia (HM) groups, respectively. The main outcomes are the postoperative tear break-up time (TBUT), Schirmer test, ocular surface staining, and DED-related symptoms. The independent t-test and generalized linear model were used for the statistical analysis of the present study.
resultsThe postoperative uncorrected distance visual acuity (UDVA) and spherical equivalent (SE) were significantly better in the LM group (all p<0.001). Regarding the postoperative DED parameters, the TBUT and Schirmer test values were significantly higher in the LM group compared to those in the HM group during the whole follow-up period (all p<0.05). The rate of superficial keratitis and multiple DED symptom were significantly higher in the HM group than the LM group one month postoperatively (both p<0.05). Advanced age correlated with poor DED sign, and female sex correlated with poor DED symptom in the LM group (both p<0.05). On the other hand, both advanced age and female sex were associated with poor DED signs and symptoms in the HM group (all p<0.05).
conclusionHM may have a certain correlation with higher DED incidence and severity for participants who received KLEx surgery.
