The Immunobiology of Dry Eye Disease: A Review of the Pathogenesis, Regulation and Therapeutic Implications.
Review in International journal of molecular sciences, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
Dry eye disease (DED) is increasingly recognized as a condition driven by immune dysregulation at the ocular surface (OS). Chronic inflammation, mediated by aberrant activation of both innate and adaptive immune pathways, underlies disease progression and symptom persistence. Neuroimmune interactions further amplify OS inflammation, contributing to epithelial damage and impaired homeostatic regulation. This review summarizes current literature on the immunopathogenesis of DED, highlighting the complex interplay of molecular mechanisms of innate and adaptive immune activation, neuroimmune-mediated inflammation, and emerging molecular and cellular biomarkers. In addition, we examine existing and emerging therapeutic strategies that target these immune-molecular pathways, including precision immunomodulatory approaches, to inform future management of DED. By integrating mechanistic insights with clinical findings, this review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms underlying the dysregulated immune response associated with DED.
