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

Tears contain valuable biomarkers and offer potential for noninvasive disease monitoring. However, the lack of correlation analysis between serum uric acid (SUA) and tear uric acid (TUA) has limited their clinical application in personalized medicine. Here, we present a wireless smart contact lens capable of real-time, noninvasive monitoring of TUA as an alternative to blood-based UA testing. We validated the device through correlation analysis in rabbits and human participants, including individuals with hyperuricemia and gout. Daily-life monitoring enabled personalized characterization of TUA fluctuations in response to food intake and physical activity, together with individualized lag time profiling. A strong linear relationship allowed development of a regression model to derive estimated SUA from TUA. Building on these temporal profiles, lifestyle-informed digital twins were constructed to predict daily uric acid dynamics without continuous lens wear. This digital twin-enabled, device-free framework provides a practical route toward unobtrusive and personalized metabolic health monitoring.
