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

purposeTo evaluate ocular surface parameters and psychological status in patients with central serous chorioretinopathy (CSCR) and to investigate the relationship between tear film dysfunction and psychological distress.

methodsThis prospective case-control study included 55 patients with CSCR and 50 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. Ocular surface assessment comprised the Ocular Surface Disease Index (OSDI), non-invasive tear break-up time (NIBUT) measured with Sirius (CSO, Italy), Schirmer I test, and corneal fluorescein staining graded by the Oxford scale. Psychological status was evaluated using the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI).

resultsPatients with CSCR demonstrated significantly higher OSDI, BAI and BDI scores, and significantly lower NIBUT and Schirmer values compared with controls (all, p < 0.001). Oxford staining scores were significantly higher in the CSCR group (p < 0.001). OSDI scores were positively correlated with anxiety and depression scores, while NIBUT and Schirmer values were negatively correlated with psychological parameters (all, p < 0.001).

conclusionCSCR is associated with impaired ocular surface parameters and increased psychological distress. The observed correlations suggest a potential interaction between tear film instability and psychological factors, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive clinical evaluation in patients with CSCR.
