Helpful study and abstract. I appreciate the inclusion of data charts with the abstract. More should be done on the link between chronic dry eye and diabetes.
Excellent, rigorous study. Too few eye care professionals advise their patients with chronic dry-eye that Omega 3 dietary supplements could be helpful.
An informative and easy-to-read study. It would be even better if the ARRIVE guidelines were followed and cited: https://www.equator-network.org/reporting-guidelines/improving-bioscience-research-reporting-the-arrive-guidelines-for-reporting-animal-research/
An interesting look at gametic inheritance to the second generations. However, the authors do not provide a clear explanation for why smoking was selected as the risk factor of interest in the case of myopia.
This is fascinating, but covers French settlers in the St. Lawrence Valley during the 17th and 18th centuries. It would be very helpful to better understand similar relationships on developed countries in the 21st century.
I wish more studies in the US would cover the benefits of a grandmother's presence in children's lives. Most that do only look at grandmothers raising their grandchildren; a very important issue, but not the same question.
It is helpful that this abstract provides a large data table, but the writing is confusing, for example: "Linoleic acid (LA), a primary polyunsaturated fatty acid, is a nutritional quandary as has been associated with diabetes and cardiovascular disease (CVD) protection but may have negative effects in inflammation and cancer." It uses various acronyms for ethnic groups in Results, but nowhere in the abstract is there any key to what they stand for.
Excellent, highly-powered analysis of secondary data, with 4.93 million person-years of follow-up. Little is heard by the lay diabetic about linoleic acid.
An important approach to studying this issue, but with only 11 case studies found (and none for borage), it does not contribute much. It would be better if the abstract provided a bit more detail about the search process and criteria; for example, did they include case studies published in multiple languages?

It's encouraging to see low-moderate risk of bias among primary studies, and no evidence of publication bias among meta-analyses. Perhaps functional foods research and reporting have improved!
