LipiFlow vs basic warm compresses

Mean change from baseline in meibomian gland expression scores at 1 to 4 weeks (higher is favored) · people with dry eye

It is very uncertain whether lipiFlow changes mean change from baseline in meibomian gland expression scores at 1… compared with basic warm compresses (very low certainty).

Face‐down positioning vs other positioning

Quality of life assessments at 3 months or later (higher is favored) · people with primary macula‐involving rhegmatogenous retinal detachments

It is very uncertain whether face‐down positioning changes quality of life assessments at 3 months or later (higher is favored) compared with other positioning (very low certainty).
