Canine Tear Proteomics: A New Frontier in Veterinary Ophthalmology.
Review in Veterinary ophthalmology, 2026. 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
Canine tear proteomics is an emerging field with significant potential for advancing both veterinary ophthalmology and comparative biomedical research. Tears are a readily accessible, non-invasive biofluid that contain a mixture of proteins involved in ocular surface protection, immune defense, and intercellular signaling. In dogs, tear proteomics studies have revealed biomarkers associated with various ocular and non-ocular diseases including keratoconjunctivitis sicca (KCS), glaucoma, neoplasia, and diabetes mellitus. This review compiles all previous studies conducted on the comprehensive canine tear proteome and highlights some of the key tear proteomic studies in human biomedical research. Tear film composition, study design, technological advancements, and select tear proteins are discussed along with key protein alterations and their use as potential biomarkers of disease. Fundamental challenges, clinical implications, and future directions of this rapidly growing field are discussed in detail. As proteomic technology and analytical techniques continue to evolve, canine tear proteomics will become a valuable tool for the veterinary ophthalmologist, enabling the early identification and diagnosis of ocular disease as well as providing a means for monitoring treatment outcomes, disease progression, and overall prognosis for the canine patient.
