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

purposeTo evaluate the association between dynamic pupillometry parameters and in vivo confocal microscopy (IVCM)-derived corneal sub-basal nerve morphology in patients with immune-related dry eye disease.

methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted on 28 patients with immune-related dry eye disease (DED). Corneal sub-basal nerve morphology, including corneal nerve fiber length density (CNFL), intensity, and tortuosity, was quantified using IVCM. Dynamic pupillary light reflexes, including pupil size diameter and constriction/dilation velocities, were measured via automated pupillometry. Correlation and multivariate regression analysis were employed to determine the independent associations between structural nerve metrics and functional pupillary parameters.

resultsSignificant positive correlations were observed between CNFL and baseline pupil size, recovery pupil size, and total contraction and dilation time. Multivariate regression confirmed that CNFL remained an independent predictor of baseline pupil diameter after adjusting for age and gender.

conclusionStructural rarefaction of the corneal sub-basal nerves is closely mirrored by functional impairments in pupillary dynamics. Dynamic pupillometry may provide complementary functional information associated with corneal nerve alterations in patients with immune-related DED.
