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

Sjögren's disease-related dry eye (SjD‑DE) refers to a form of dry eye disease driven by autoimmune dysregulation in Sjögren's disease (SjD). Compared with primary dry eye, patients with SjD-DE typically present with more pronounced symptoms and signs, along with persistent and refractory disease courses that markedly impair daily functioning and quality of life. Although the precise mechanisms underlying SjD-DE have not been fully elucidated, accumulating evidence indicates that SjD affects not only lacrimal secretion but also multiple components of the ocular surface. In this context, we review recent pathological studies focusing on glandular dysfunction, goblet cell loss, tear film hyperosmolarity, ocular surface inflammation, and corneal nerve pathology in SjD-DE. These pathological alterations are highly interconnected and mutually reinforcing, ultimately driving the "vicious cycle" of ocular surface damage. This review aims to provide insights to support the development of novel non-invasive diagnostic criteria and future therapeutic strategies for SjD-DE.
