The Ocular Microbiome: Micro-Steps Towards Macro-Shift in Targeted Treatment? A Comprehensive Review.
Review in Microorganisms, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
A healthy ocular surface is inhabited by microorganisms that constitute the ocular microbiome. The core of the ocular microbiome is still a subject of debate. Numerous culture-dependent and gene sequencing studies have revealed the composition of the ocular microbiome. There was a confirmed correlation between the ocular microbiome and ocular surface homeostasis as well as between ocular dysbiosis and pathologies such as blepharitis, microbial keratitis, and conjunctivitis. However, the role of the ocular microbiome in the pathogenesis and treatment of ocular surface diseases remains unclear. This article reviews available data on the ocular microbiome and microbiota, their role in maintaining ocular homeostasis, and the impact of dysbiosis on several ophthalmic disorders. Moreover, we aimed to discuss potential treatment targets within the ocular microbiota.
