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.

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.

Abstract

introductionThis study compared the efficacy of hydroxypropyl guar (HPG)/hyaluronic acid (HA) and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC)/HA lubricant eye drops for post-cataract surgery dry eye disease (DED).

methodsThis was a prospective, open-label, assessor-masked, parallel, randomized controlled study. Seventy patients with DED who underwent cataract surgery were randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive 1-2 drops of HPG/HA or CMC/HA lubricant four times daily for 3 weeks. Efficacy assessments included changes from baseline in corneal fluorescein staining (CFS) score, Ocular Surface Disease Index score, Schirmer's test score (without anesthesia), tear break-up time, and central corneal sensitivity at weeks 1 and 3.

resultsThere were 35 patients in each group. The HPG/HA group demonstrated superior improvements in CFS scores (expressed as means and standard deviations) to the CMC/HA group at week 1 ( - 1.0 [1.7] vs. - 0.1 [1.7], p = 0.039) and demonstrated comparable results at week 3 ( - 1.6 [1.8] vs. - 1.3 [1.9], p = 0.552). No statistical differences were observed in other secondary outcomes between groups at weeks 1 and 3 (p > 0.05). Only one adverse event was reported in this study, which occurred in the HPG/HA group. The AE of ocular hypertension was mild, deemed unrelated to the study treatment, and resolved within a week.

conclusionsThe HPG/HA lubricant eye drops resulted in greater CFS scores at 1 week after treatment compared with CMC/HA drops. The HPG/HA and CMC/HA drops were safe and well tolerated. CLINICALTRIALS: GOV IDENTIFIER: NCT06221345.
