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

Neurological disorders significantly affect ocular surface homeostasis, influencing parameters such as blink rate (BR), tear production, corneal nerve density, and sensitivity. This review summarizes recent findings on ocular surface alterations associated with neurological diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), trigeminal neuralgia (TN), multiple sclerosis (MS), and Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT). Notably, ocular manifestations such as reduced BR, decreased tear break-up time (TBUT), impaired tear secretion, and corneal nerve fiber loss are consistently reported. In AD, elevated tear amyloid-beta and tau proteins emerge as promising biomarkers for early disease detection. PD patients frequently experience dry eye symptoms attributed to reduced BR and tear film instability. GBS is linked to lagophthalmos and corneal nerve impairment, potentially leading to severe ocular surface damage. TN demonstrates bilateral ocular surface dysfunction despite unilateral neuropathic symptoms. MS is associated with significant ocular surface alterations, reflecting broader neuroinflammatory and autonomic disturbances. Similarly, CMT patients show reduced corneal sensitivity and tear production, underscoring the systemic nature of neurological impacts. Awareness of these ocular manifestations is essential for improving patient care and guiding future research into ocular biomarkers and targeted therapies.
