Effects of digital screen property modification on symptoms of digital eye strain.
Trial report in Digital journal of ophthalmology : DJO, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: To evaluate whether use of digital screen color temperature-modulating software is associated with changes in severity of symptoms associated with digital eye strain. Methods: In this prospective, interventional study, participants were recruited at ophthalmology clinics and via email. Participants completed a pre-intervention survey regarding demographics, digital screen use patterns, and severity of eight digital eye strain symptoms on a five-point Likert scale. Participants were randomized to use color temperature modulating software, reduce digital screen brightness, or change no digital screen properties on their personal computers for 1 month, after which time participants completed a post-intervention survey on digital eye strain symptom severity and adherence to intervention use. Changes in symptom severity scores were assessed using paired Results: Pre-intervention and post-intervention questionnaires were completed by 47 participants. There was no significant difference in computer screen use times and baseline symptom severity across groups. Regarding usability, 19/19 participants (100%) in the color temperature modulation group and 16/17 (94%) in the brightness reduction group used the intervention half the time or more. In the brightness reduction group, there was a significant reduction in the eye fatigue severity score by 0.82 ( Conclusions: In our study cohort, digital screen color temperature modulating software was associated with a high level of usability but was not associated with a reduction in digital eye strain symptom severity.
