Effect of Order of Testing on Intraocular Pressure and Tear Production Measurement in Dogs.
Article 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
objectiveTo determine if the order of performing Schirmer tear test -1 (STT-1) and intraocular pressure (IOP) using a rebound tonometer influences the diagnostic values in a general population of dogs. ANIMALS STUDIED: 122 eyes from 61 dogs of a variety of signalments and presentations. PROCEDURES: Dogs were randomly assigned into IOP first (Group A) and STT-1 first (Group B) groups. Each group had an STT-1 test, IOP measured by rebound tonometry, fluorescein staining, and a complete ocular examination.
resultsNo significant differences were found between Group A and Group B for either tear production (p = 0.62) or IOP (p = 0.27). There were no significant differences with gender for both groups, and no significant difference was found between left and right eyes for IOP when left eyes were measured first.
conclusionsThe order of performing STT-1 and rebound tonometry has no significant effect on tear production or IOP for a general population of dogs. The order of testing is unlikely to have a clinically significant effect.
