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
background and purposeData on the epidemiology of glaucoma are sparse for Germany. Case registries from the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians (Kassenärztliche Vereinigung) can be used to estimate disease prevalence rates for different types of glaucoma and to illustrate the utilization of glaucoma healthcare.
methodsAnalysis of healthcare data for suspected glaucoma cases and open angle, angle closure, secondary and other types of glaucoma was carried on the basis of case registries from the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians in Rhineland-Palatine for the year 2010. Glaucoma cases were registered quarterly according to the ICD-10 classification for different glaucoma types (H40.0-H40.9). For the purpose of calculating the prevalence data were adjusted to the population size and compared in different age strata.
resultsThe estimated prevalence of suspected glaucoma, open angle, angle closure, secondary and other types of glaucoma were 0.55%, 0.97%, 0.06%, 0.10% and 0.64%, respectively, with a higher prevalence in older age groups and women. Most glaucoma cases were diagnosed in the age group between 70 and 79 years and up to 15% of the population within this age group sought glaucoma care. In more than 50% of the glaucoma cases unspecific types of glaucoma diagnosis (suspected glaucoma /other glaucoma) were used.
conclusionsThe data from the Association of Statutory Health Insurance Physicians can provide information about the utilization of ophthalmic healthcare and allow estimation of the underlying glaucoma prevalence in the population. The data illustrate weaknesses in the practice of glaucoma diagnosis and indicate the lack of a widely accepted glaucoma definition.
