Autophagy in dry eye disease: Therapeutic implications of autophagy modulators on the ocular surface.
Review in Indian journal of ophthalmology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
Dry eye disease (DED) is a chronic ocular surface disorder, associated with inflammation, which can cause severe morbidity, visual compromise, and loss of quality of life, affecting up to 5-50% of the world population. In DED, ocular surface damage and tear film instability due to abnormal tear secretion lead to ocular surface pain, discomfort, and epithelial barrier disruption. Studies have shown the involvement of autophagy regulation in dry eye disease as a pathogenic mechanism along with the inflammatory response. Autophagy is a self-degradation pathway in mammalian cells that reduces the excessive inflammation driven by the secretion of inflammatory factors in tears. Specific autophagy modulators are already available for the management of DED currently. However, growing studies on autophagy regulation in DED might further encourage the development of autophagy modulating drugs that reduce the pathological response at the ocular surface. In this review, we summarize the role of autophagy in the pathogenesis of dry eye disease and explore its therapeutic application.
