- Abstract
The article discusses the issue of misleading citations and publication bias in COVID-19 research in ophthalmology. It highlights a study that found no retinal alterations due to SARS-CoV-2 infection, despite misrepresentations in citations. The text emphasizes the importance of distinguishing correlation from causation and avoiding overstatement of findings to prevent unnecessary alarm among patients. It also calls for rigorous research practices, technological tools to detect misleading content, and the publication of negative or null results to uphold the integrity of scientific literature.
