1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Objective: To investigate the epidemiological characteristics of dry eye disease (DED) in Gansu Province, examine the associations between regional population features and DED, and identify risk factors contributing to disease onset, thereby providing scientific evidence for clinical prevention, diagnosis, and intervention in this region. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from August 2024 to August 2025 using stratified, multi-stage cluster random sampling. A Results: Climate type, elevation, sex, daily screen time, sleep quality, and smoking were associated with DED in the conventional multivariable model (all Conclusion: The prevalence of DED in Gansu Province is affected by multiple factors related to regional environment, population characteristics, and lifestyle behaviors. Climate type, daily screen time and sleep quality are key risk factors. Public health interventions should prioritize high-risk regions and high-risk populations.
