[Demographic change : challenges to ophthalmological patient-centered care].
Article in Der Ophthalmologe : Zeitschrift der Deutschen Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundDemographic change not only affects patients with ophthalmological diseases but also ophthalmologists.
objectivesThe aim of this article is to evaluate the consequences of an aging society on health care provision. How can these challenges be overcome? MATERIAL AND
methodsEvaluation of publications from the German Federal Statistical Office about the current and projected population, analysis of own studies about health care provision, utilization, and delivery as well as the presentation and discussion of regulatory and organizational conditions.
resultsThere is a continuous increase in chronic and age-related diseases. At the same time the prevalence of multimorbidity and the number of patients dependent on long-term care is rising, leading to an increase in the demand for ophthalmological care. Regarding health care providers we observed a cutback in qualified ophthalmological personnel, especially for remote areas thus causing difficulties in providing adequate eye care to the population.
conclusionTo deliver health care to a growing number of patients with a decreasing number of medical professionals is the major challenge of demographic change. This will have an enormous impact on ophthalmological health care in terms of maintaining high quality health services covering a nationwide area.
