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
Introduction: Dry eye disease is one of the common disorders that may lead to severe ocular complications, visual impairment or even blindness and sometimes may be a manifestation of underlying systemic disease. Postmenopausal women are one of the most common groups to be affected by dry eye. The aim of the study was to assess the prevalence of dry eye in postmenopausal women and to describe its distribution according to age and duration of menopause. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in a community eye center in Bhaktapur from January 2022 to December 2022. The ethical clearance was obtained from Institutional review committee of Tilganga Institute of Ophthalmology (Reference no 27/2021). Detailed history and ocular examinations along with Schirmer test and Tear Film Break Up Time were performed. Results: A total of 384 postmenopausal women were enrolled in the study. 276 (71.88%) patients had dry eye disease.100 (36.23%) patients belonged to 60-69 years of age group. 69 (25%) patients had mild dry eye, 112 (40.58%) patients had moderate dry eye and 95 (34.42%) patients had severe dry eye. Among 235 women with >10 years duration of menopause, 182 (77.45%) patients had dry eye. Conclusions: Dry eye is the common disorder that occurs in postmenopausal women, that is highly undiagnosed. The increase in age and duration of menopause are related to dry eye.
