HDL May Improve Ocular Tear Film Stability in Patients with Gastric Bypass: A Pilot Study.

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
Most people with obesity who have undergone gastric bypass surgery have dyslipidemia. Because tear film layers play a major role in the pathogenesis of evaporative dry eye, some studies suggest that dry eye syndrome (DES) and dyslipidemia could cooperate in the ocular system. This study aimed to investigate whether tear film conditions are correlated with blood lipid levels. We calculated a sample of 29 patients in this study. We measured the characteristics of the tear film via the Schirmer test and tear break-up time (BUT) test; three measurements were made, and the average value was subsequently recorded. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) correlated positively with BUT (
