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 evaluate the safety and efficacy of lotilaner ophthalmic solution, 0.25% compared with vehicle in Patients and Methods: This was a pooled analysis of two prospective, randomized, double-masked studies of Results: On Days 43 and 85, there was a statistically significantly higher proportion of patients in the lotilaner group versus the vehicle group with collarette reduction to grade 0 (0-2 collarettes/lid) (44.7% vs 0.0% and 65.8% vs 0.0%) and grade 0 or 1 (0-10 collarettes/lid) (81.6% vs 8.8% and 100% vs 0.0%) (all p<0.001). Mean MGSS, MGYLS, and MGYCLS in the lotilaner group were statistically significantly higher than in the vehicle group. The proportion of lotilaner patients achieving improvement to ≥ 3 glands with clear meibum (grade 3) was significantly higher than the vehicle group on Day 43 (44.7% vs 17.6%, p<0.05) and Day 85 (78.9% vs 18.2%, p<0.001). At Days 43 and 85, fluctuating vision, itching, burning, and redness were significantly better in the lotilaner group than in the vehicle group. No serious treatment-related AEs were reported. Conclusion: In patients with
