Effect of a One-Week Lubricant Pretreatment on Post-LASIK Dry Eye: Single-Center Randomized, Single-Masked Study With 1-Month Follow-Up.
Article in Journal of ophthalmology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Purpose: Our purpose is to report the results of a prospective study on ocular discomfort and objective tear film parameters (osmolarity and NIKBUT), in myopic patients, and observe the possible differences at 1 month between randomized groups in the use of topical lubricants 1 week prior to surgery or just after surgery. Methods: This is a prospective, single masked, randomized, comparative study. Refractive error and UDVA, BCVA, tear osmolarity, OSDI test, and keratograph analysis of the tear film were performed per patient by a masked examiner before and 1 day, 1 week, and 1 month after FS-LASIK performed to correct myopia in both pre and post groups. A total of 22 patients per group were included. Results: Mean age was 32.27 ± 5.4 and 32.85 ± 5.3 years, and mean preop sphere was -3.17 ± 2.3 and 2.75 ± 1.3 D in pre and post groups, respectively ( Conclusion: Femto-LASIK increased OSDI at 1 month. One-week pretreatment with hyaluronate-HP-guar did not improve symptoms, osmolarity, or NIKBUT compared with postoperative use only. More trials with longer follow-up are needed.
