Transcorneal electrical stimulation of retina to treat longstanding retinal artery occlusion.
Article in Graefe's archive for clinical and experimental ophthalmology = Albrecht von Graefes Archiv fur klinische und experimentelle Ophthalmologie, 2007. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 47 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 report the outcome of transcorneal electrical stimulation (TES) of the visual system on long-standing retinal artery occlusion (RAO).
designOpen labeled, case series. PATIENTS AND
methodsTwo patients with central RAO (15 and 33 months respectively) and one with branch RAO (26 months) underwent TES therapy. Subjective and objective ophthalmological evaluations were performed before and after the TES. The ages of the patients were 38, 49, and 63 years. The TES (20 Hz biphasic pulses, 30 minutes, up to 1100 uA) was delivered by a bipolar contact lens electrode once a month for 3 months. Perimetric and/or electrophysiological examinations were performed as outcome measures.
resultsThe visual acuity improved by more than 0.2 logMAR units in two cases, and the visual fields were improved in all three cases. The multifocal ERGs which had been reduced in the loci corresponding to the ischemic retinal area were improved after the treatment in two cases. Neither ocular nor systemic adverse effects were observed except for transient superficial keratitis.
conclusionsTES of the retina can improve retinal function in eyes with long-standing RAOs.
