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

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to determine whether satisfied wearers of biweekly contact lenses (CL) for astigmatism can be refitted with weekly CL for astigmatism and remain satisfied wearers. Methods: Satisfied, asymptomatic senofilcon A CL wearers aged 18-40 years were enrolled. Visits 1 and 2 confirmed senofilcon A CL satisfaction and fit. After a week of washout, serafilcon A CLs were dispensed at visit 3, and participants were asked to wear them for 2 weeks. At visit 4, CLs were evaluated using the CLDEQ-8, visual analog scale (VAS), an investigator-designed questionnaire, and the Impact of Dry Eye on Everyday Life (IDEEL) QoL module. Results: Forty-seven participants (70.2% female) were enrolled. A total of 81% of the participants wearing serafilcon A CLs had asymptomatic CLDEQ-8 scores at visit 4. Serafilcon A CLs wearers had mean VAS scores of 72.1 ± 27.2 for end of day eye comfort, 63.6 ± 34.2 for eye dryness, and 79.6 ± 23.8 for clarity of vision. Serafilcon A CLs wearers had good mean daily activities (96.1 ± 5.3), feelings (97.8 ± 3.2), and work domain (95.7 ± 5.9) IDEEL questionnaire scores, and 65.8% of the participants indicated that they were satisfied with their CLs. Conclusion: According to patient reported outcome results, most participants were satisfied with their CLs after switching from senofilcon A to serafilcon A CLs, suggesting that it is feasible to switch a satisfied biweekly CL wearer to a weekly CL brand when needed as a result of newer materials, a different replacement schedule, patient preference, costs, or other necessities.
