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

Purpose: To evaluate both subjective grading and objective assessments associated with switching from habitual silicone hydrogel daily disposable contact lenses to verofilcon A lenses (study lenses) among young Asian individuals, and to investigate the relationship between these subjective and objective measures. Patients and Methods: 58 participants wore study lenses for 8-10 hours daily for a week. Subjective assessments, including comfort, visual quality, and eye dryness, were conducted using a numerical rating scale (0-100) on the first and seventh day. Noninvasive tear breakup time (NITBUT), bulbar conjunctival redness (BR), tear meniscus height (TMH), and meibography were measured with the Keratograph M5 at baseline, the first and the seventh day. Results: After the seventh day, subjective ratings showed increased comfort and decreased visual quality and dryness. Comfort and visual quality scores on the first and seventh days were above 85 points, with no significant differences. The average NITBUT significantly improved 15 minutes and 8 hours post-lens application compared to baseline measures ( Conclusion: The switch to daily disposable study lenses resulted in maintained comfort and improved tear film stability in the young Asian population. A significant positive correlation was observed between NITBUT and subjective measures of comfort.
