Results of meta-regression showed that mean age was not significantly associated with MD in TBUT scores between CsA and ATs and showed a positive trend (point estimate 0.03, P =0.58, online supplementary file 9 ).

Five RCTs recruiting 269 cases with DED provided usable data on Schirmer’s test scores, 25 , 28 , 30 , 34 , 36 and pooled results showed no significant difference between the two groups, but a favorable trend for CsA over ATs (WMD 0.45, 95% CI −2.25 to 3.15).
