Effect of screen time and refractive errors on subjective and objective assessment of dry eye disease in young female subjects.

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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the independent and combined effects of refractive errors (REs) and screen time on dry eye disease (DED) in young Saudi females.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 61 female students aged 18-26 years. Participants completed ocular surface index (OSDI) questionnaires and underwent RE measurement using an autorefractor/keratometer (NIDEK ARK-500A). Dry eye assessments included Schirmer's test for tear production and tear breakup time (TBUT) for tear film stability. Pearson's correlation and two-way ANOVA were used to analyze the relationships between RE, screen time duration, and DED parameters.
resultsScreen time duration showed no significant associations with dry eye parameters, including OSDI (
conclusionThis study suggests that REs may contribute to tear film instability, while screen time alone does not significantly affect dry eye symptoms or objective tear function. Further research is needed to enhance our understanding of DED risk factors in young adults.
