Ocular Manifestations in Seborrheic Dermatitis Epidemiology, Clinical Features, and Management: A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Cureus, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Seborrheic dermatitis (SD) often leads to ocular manifestations (OM) that are frequently overlooked. This study comprehensively explains the genesis of these ocular issues, which involves a combination of Malassezia overgrowth, changes in sebum production, and inflammatory responses in the body. The periocular region is rich in sebaceous glands, allowing Malassezia to thrive, which can lead to an inflammatory reaction that spreads to the eye surface, causing disorders such as blepharitis, conjunctivitis, keratitis, and ocular surface diseases. Although epidemiological data are limited, it is well established that ocular involvement occurs in approximately 10%-40% of individuals with SD. Early detection and treatment are crucial to prevent potential vision-threatening complications. A comprehensive diagnostic approach is necessary, including clinical examination, slit-lamp biomicroscopy, tear film analysis, and corneal imaging. Managing these conditions requires a multidisciplinary strategy involving collaboration between dermatologists and ophthalmologists. The treatment should involve topical and systemic medications to address the skin and ocular components. Patient education is critical for improving adherence to therapy, self-management, and the early identification of problems. In the future, it will be essential to investigate the intricate interactions between Malassezia species and host immunological processes. This collective effort will involve creating new biomarkers and diagnostic tools, investigating targeted immunomodulatory drugs and novel lipid-based medicines as potential treatments, and conducting large-scale longitudinal studies to understand the epidemiological patterns and prognostic variables better. By raising awareness, encouraging collaboration across disciplines, and advancing research, healthcare practitioners can significantly improve patients' quality of life with SD and OM.
